The promo team found music for the titles. This music was upbeat and will help set a good, high energy tone for the show. The same music will be used at the end of the show quietly during the round up section and then will be brought up during the credits - this helps to keep the tone consistent. The promo team attached the music to the titles VT so this will be operated by the VT operators - however, the music is not attached at the end of the programme so will need to be controlled by Aimee on sound.
The music for the VTs was found by the VT teams. I suggested a copyright free artist called "LAKEY INSPIRED" as the tone of his music is chill but also upbeat - it is also unlike music heard in mainstream TV shows which aids our branding as a show that displays non mainstream fashion. The Old To New VT and DIY VT used music from this artist.
Jemma and Victoria contacted an artist to create an original piece of music for the drag act's performance. The piece needed to be upbeat enough to allow the drag queen to do an energetic performance as well as needing to fit in with the tone of the show. The music was sent to our drag queen to who learnt the words to lip sync to the song.
Andrew was in charge of finding / creating the music for the stings and the catwalk section.
Initially he made some music from scratch. However, it was hard to get the music to match the tone of our show. The music needed to be upbeat yet also embody the unique tone of the show. We didn't want the music to be too 'poppy' but it still needed to be upbeat.
After receiving our feedback that the music didn't match with the style of the show and the other music used in the introduction and VTs, Andrew decided to go back to using the music myself and Melissa suggested in our pitch. This music is from Dyalla Swain and perfectly fits the tone of the show. Andrew went through the music and chose sections that fit the tone of the show and the timings of the required sections. The music for the stings was attached to the accompanying graphic to work as a VT. This will be controlled by the VT operators. The music for the catwalk sections was sent to Aimee on sound who will control the fading in and out of these music beds in the studio.
Here are the initial samples Andrew made and the final music pieces:
I am happy with the music we have ended up with for the show. It is disappointing that we are unable to use Andrew's original music but it is more important to ensure the music throughout the show is of the same consistent tone to ensure our show has a strong brand identity. Andrew found some good music in the end and found some good samples from these songs to use in the production - the tone of the music is spot on as it is unique, upbeat with a slight 'indie' vibe.
