Music Cue #2 for "Graduation Day"

Overview

I need a simple melody to play in the background.: You have learned that simple melody can tell an entire story.

Your instructor (that's me!) is creating a film score for the Super 16mm motion picture short called "Graduation Day". I need your help"

I need a simple melody that explains the motives and background of the villian.

Here is the sound I currently am using. It does not sound like a Catholic Mass. Please help:

"Graduation Day"

Super 16mm motion picture short

This is a 5-minute motion picture which is currently in post production (2007-05-26)

Musical Cue #2 - A young choir boy

A simple melody musical cue

The villian is thinking about his childhood as an abused choir boy.

Can you create a melody which tells us that he was abused as a child?

Software

Apple's GarageBand plus the sounds of a symphony orchestra: I am creating this film score using GarageBand and Jam Pack:Symphony Orchestra.

Next week, I will be getting MUTO's Symphonic Instrument which has additional musical instruments for GarageBand.

Using just this combination, I need a GarageBand project file which creates the feeling of mild discomfort. Currently, I am using a violin trill cord. I need a better cord but I don't know how to do this.

Can you help me? Robert Elliott 12:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Now that you know what you need for a film score, now I show you how to get it by butchering midi files inside of GarageBand.

By the way

I have another musical cue that I need for "Graduation Day". If you have not done so already, go to The first musical cue needed for "Graduation Day".
