Menace: Music and Framing

 There is a song in the newest Batman trailer that is literally fantastic. The main underlying melody is 2 notes played in succession( A and F I think) and they hit heavily enough to make the entire theme feel extremely dark and almost beyond what Batman does as a hero. The newest trailer for the film came out today and there were interesting bits of it that have helped me figure out how to frame my hero and villain. Batman and his villains are supposed to be unsettling by nature, and Batman is meant to strike fear into the hearts of criminals and is often framed with the camera showcasing his face, which is contorted into a mindless rage. 

This type of rage and shadow(which in the screenshot taken should probably use more lighting) is something that I think I can replicate with the mask I have already. The rest of the costume needs to come together but at the moment I think that having the character framed focusing on their expressionless face will give my audience the same kind of terror and unsettled anxiety that my piece is looking for. I think that having unsettling music and good voiceover work will make the piece feel much more driven, and will give the overall structure something to build tension and fear. 

As far as music is concerned, I wish I could rip them straight from these new Batman trailers because it's so amazing. Here is one of the best covers of it that I've found(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rCo94BFIe8) I think the choice of music can make or break the piece and having something to go off of as far as the type of sound I want to look for I think will help me narrow the search. If I am able to match the framing of the hero moments with the music I should have something extremely unsettling and dark, which I think will aid the story perfectly.
