Musical Underscore Ideas

I want the soundtrack of my film to be a big factor in creating emotion as I think sound is a very important aspect of filmmaking.

"Safe Now" - Henry Jackman - Captain Phillips

My first choice of music I would like to use is "Safe Now", which was composed by Henry Jackman for the movie 'Captain Phillips'. I have chosen this piece of music as it is one of my favourite pieces composed for film and it also is used in the very last scene of the movie, which also happens to be just about my favourite scene from a movie because the emotion conveyed by Hanks' acting is dumbfounding but also the use of this piece enhances that effect and makes it extremely powerful. I want to use the extended version throughout the duration of my film but by editing it to certain parts with the climax of the piece being right at the end before the credits roll. 

The name of the piece also relates heavily to my plot because it is named "Safe Now" which can relates heavily to my lead character as they are saved from killing themselves by a stranger. This also has relations to Captain Phillips' plot because Captain Phillips is saved by a group of Navy SEALs who are strangers to him.

I have also considered different variations of this track which are from different films such as '12 Years a Slave' and 'Inception', which are all composed by Hans Zimmer. These two variations have different feels to them which I don't think would quite suit my film.

"Solomon" - Hans Zimmer - 12 Years a Slave

As this movie is set in the 1800s, this soundtrack definitely sounds like an older piece of music, to suit its intended film. Also, a violin is quite prominent in this piece which is a reference to Solomon Northup who is the main character so I don't believe this piece is right for my film. However, I like the emotion that this piece draws, especially when it is heard in the film when Solomon is reunited with his family.

"Time" - Hans Zimmer - Inception
