Final Project Proposal

For the final project, I aim to create an instrumental soundtrack for certain scenes of a video game. Each instrumental needs to connect with the given scene. For example, if the game is showing a sad scene, a slow relaxing music will be appropriate.

Before I start producing the music itself, I will first have to write a summary of the game or a story. With a basic written story, the player will understand on why such feeling or mood in the soundtrack itself exists.

I plan to create 3 soundtracks. The first one will be for the main menu of a game. My first track will be more on the happy side. With a happy soundtrack, I believe that the player will be more excited to play the game, take the first soundtrack of Super Mario for example.

The second track will be on the cheerful side as well. Again, it will be like the first scene of Super Mario but the music will be more modernised. 

The third tack will be for a boss fight. This track will be more suspenseful with a horror theme in it.

For this project, I will be using Fl Studio to produce the instrumentals. I will be starting from scratch so all sounds and elements will be produced by me. All software and equipment need for this project will be provided by me. 

With seven classes left, I plan to create one track per class for the first 3 days. For the other 3 classes, I will spend time mixing these tracks making sure that every instrument has a breathing room, and that all the sound levels are right. I also plan working on this project in my own time outside of school.
