Research into scenes in music studios

(Done by Marina Waldron from my group)
We researched online to find any scenes that included shots of music studios. This meant we could see what personal music studios look like, how people act in these situations and places, and some popular shots.

Most scenes we looked at came from the film 'Straight Outta Compton' which is a 2015 biographical film based on the lives of the group N.W.A - a gangsta rap group from Compton, California in the late 1980s. Scenes like the one below show shots of the group of friends hanging out together in the studio, playing their music and drinking. This scene uses short panning shots which we were influenced by in creating our pan to black shots, which make up the majority of our title sequence.



In the clip above, we liked the related atmosphere portrayed as the music making was being done in someones home. The props and set were relaxed, which in turn made the characters more comfortable in the room. This gave exactly the picture we inspired to have, of a group of friends listening to music and hanging out together.

We also looked at a lot of 'Behind The Scenes...' videos, however a lot of these were done professionally to show the hard work behind music making and therefore didn't have the same atmosphere we were trying to achieve in our thriller.
