mltvgold Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I like the new 'opener', It's nice and simple. The music is good, but the recap music is abit boring. The best was 2009/10 recap music. These are the new titles, there isn't a full version. Just out of curiosity, Have you ever made your own 'Previously On' music?
cadyctslover Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 ^ I really want to, that's something I've been meaning to do for ages. I was talking about it with alexx and I think Andrew in another thread a while back, probably the one where alexx had done his own version of Sophie's theme. I just never seem to have any spare time atm, but once uni is finished this summer, hopefully I'll have a chance. I've got a really good idea for what I want to do, just need to find a Midi USB keyboard from somewhere.
Light of the Bay Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 It's a shame the people who work for 7/H&A aren't as imaginative and passionate about these things as some members here are. I look foward to hearing your work, cadyctsclover - I have no doubt it'll be awesome .
mltvgold Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I don't think its any fault on the producers, It's more a Channel 7 rule!! I can't wait to hear 'Previously On' versions of the theme tune. The problem with the current version is that at no point does it shout out 'Home and Away Theme Tune'. The first 5 seconds are good. The 2010 version had hints of the 1988 theme and the 2011 version was a modern version of the 1988 theme. Then the 2012 theme which I actually quite liked, it was just the recap music that went downhill. I'm hoping that the 2013 UK season premiere will feature a remixed closing theme.
alexx Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Wow that recap music sounds awful! It sure does! Staccato overload. It sounds so empty too. I agree that the 2009/2010 version of the recap music was great, I especially liked the electric guitar and strings.
mltvgold Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Well the 2009/2010 recap music worked for both dramatic and sad occasions. I have to admit I liked the upbeat version of the 2012 music. I can't find the clip but it was used in episode 5368 when Jett wishes Gina was his Mum. The 2010 version seemed louder too, What I mean is the scene didn't drown out the music like it seems to now.Well the 2009/2010 recap music worked for both dramatic and sad occasions.

mltvgold Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 It looks like the opening is being updated every week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI0GJLzzAXU Shame the recap music dosn't get any better.
christine king Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah, that's cool. First Maddie and now Brax, wonder who will be next?
Light of the Bay Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 The cynic in me says 7 are only going to use what they consider to be the 'popular' characters. I really hope Marilyn, Alf and Irene will be feautured too.
-Andrew- Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 The people in those shot's could be random extra's for all we see of them. I don't think they're going for a "this week, it's Brax" (It's not him anyway) sort of thing.. more 'teens doing watersport', which is perfectly fine as an alternative to those rather lifeless aerial shots. The style is nice so I don't really care if it's only ever young people.
