In terms of the rhythm and how the particles behave I'm thinking of using a background sound track and having the particles move to the beat of the track, for example the particles will behave more erratically if its a fast sound track or more slowly and softly for a slower, peaceful sound track. But I'm in to do this, I think it'll be best if I chose the sound track first as this would influence the pace, rate of movement, colour schemes and any title text involved in the animation. It may also be worth looking up visual music to help me plan and produce this project.
In terms of sound track I feel it would be best to use a softer, quieter source of sound as this will be view by the public so a faster of heavier rhythm wouldn't be the best to use in my opinion but I would like to experiment with this and true to different genres of music, as few early examples would be classical and rock.
In terms of colour pallet, I'm thinking of either using bright hues such as blues, reds, purples, yellows with a white background or black background, this would depend on the sound track I'm using though.
The sound tracks I'm thinking of using are listed below and I'll also be evaluating them on how I will be able use to the sound track, if I think the sound track would be appropriate for the project, (length of song etc) and how well I'll be able to work with the sound track.
The first track I'll be evaluating is Mozart's Lacrimosa.
Lacrimosa is a short classical piece (3 minutes, 20 seconds) which is much shorter than the limit imposed by the project brief (8 minutes), so if I need to extend the time for this I can loop the animation.
The piece itself is interesting and I feel that it'll be interesting to work with and I can see the particles movement being simple to animate in some parts of the animation but more of a challenge in in other areas.
Another potential track I could work with is Edvard Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. This is another short classical piece at 2 minutes 58 seconds, so again it would be an idea to loop the animation.
I think this would be a fun track to work with, being livelier than Lacrimosa, however I feel this would be more difficult and time consuming as the particles will require more movement to keep them in sync with the music.
The final classical piece I'll be looking at as a potential track to use is Mussorgky's 'Night on the Bald Mountain'. This is a longer piece at over 8 minutes.
I feel that the length of the track would be an issue due to the time limit of the project, so IF I was to choose this track I would have to find a way to cut it down to fit with in the limit. This track will also be the most complete to work upon, being a faster track and far more complex than the others I've look at before. Saying this I feel using this track wouldn't be the best choice for this project.
Out of the remaining two tracks I think that The Hall of the Mountain King would be the better choice as I feel that my ability is great enough to use it and animate particles to the track as well as providing me with enough of a challenge.
In terms of after track I could use from other genres of music, I'm thinking of using rock due to it being the complete opposite to what I've already researched. I do feel that if I where to use this genre it would be best if I used an instrumental sound track. This would help me avoid any issues with lyrics and any language that would be inappropriate.
The tracks I'm thinking of using of the rock genre are Heart Breaker by Motorhead, Back in Black by AC/DC and Iron Man by Black Sabbath. The reason behind choosing these three is due to the relativity simple sound track which I plan to animate particles too.
This sound track, Heart Breaker, has a simple beat that can easily animated with particles. the duration of the track also fits in with the limit set in the brief. even though I said that I would remove the lyrics from this sound track due to issues with the lyrics, etc. I don't see any issues with keeping them in after reviewing them but I'll still try to edit and remove them.
The fifth track is Black Sabbaths Iron Man, I managed to find an instrumental version of this track, saving me from having to remove any of the lyrics. Again this track fits easily with in the 8 minute time limit set in the brief. The tracks rhythm is repetitive and very simple making it an easy track to animate too however this does cause an issue of it being potentially boring to view but I could use brighter or stronger tones to make it more interesting.
The final track I'll be looking at is AC/DC's Back in Black Instrumental. This track has to be the simplest to work with but I feel this would be an issue much like Black Sabbaths track, but it does have a higher, however the track does become more interesting and much livelier. Again I think that this track would benefit from using brighter colours on a dark background thus making it far more eye catching.
Out of the 6 songs I've briefly reviewed I would be most interested in working with AC/DC's Back in Black or Edvard Griegs Hall of the Mountain King.
