Last lesson we experimented with the Garageband software on the iMac and looked at the range of musical instruments and compiling some together to get the right sound. With our genre being comedy/action, we want a spoofy action soundtrack, and we created a decent attempt using some electric guitar, a drum beat and the use of some synth. Our track must be subtly over-the-top action-esque so that it adds to the humour as and when it happens in the scenes.
The importance of a good and accurate theme tune is that it represents the genre perfectly, and helps to build the atmosphere that is relevant to the narrative and how it needs to be recieved by the audience. The best thing about comedy as a genre is that it can use music associated with other genres can be used for the comedic effect, such as taking a real action-styled piece of music and put it to a seemingly average task, for example in Bean (The Ultimate Disaster Movie) when the loud dramatic music is played when Mr. Bean is shaving. This adds to the character image that we are building in our mind.
