8)In my batman introduction at the start it is slow and there is a drum beat then it goes onto my motif and then my tune comes in. The introduction is slow the whole way through but with a drum beat in the background and then when the tune is nearly finished the drum beat stops. I still need to make the tune better and do more of it and change some of the notes around and then i am going to repeat it.

When doing my Batman Introduction on logic pro I used different instruments do get the effect I wanted. When doing this I changed the tracks a lot of times if I thought they didn't sound right with the rest of the motif. I mainly used strings in my introduction because it sounded right with everything else. Each track I used a different sound so it didn't all sound the same and boring. I wanted my introduction to begin slow and then get faster so I used the drum beats and it makes you picture the scene and it sounds effective. When I next do it I am going to keep working on it to make it better and use different instruments. My introduction is a slow and deep sound because Batman is a mystery character so thats why I used the instruments that I did.
