Even though Tom is in charge of sound and creating the sound needed for our opening sequence I thought it would still be important if I did some research on 50's sound and music, as our opening scene is about a band set in that time.
After some research I found that the most popular genre of music from the 50's is 'Rock and Roll'. Rock and roll is a form of popular music that evolved in the 1950's from rhythm and blues, characterised by the use of electric guitars, a strong rhythm with an accent on the offbeat, and youth orientated lyrics.
Typically there is a sequence of chords in a rock and roll song. This sequence is called the 'twlve bar blues.' The twelve bar blues is simply a chord progression of 3 chords. It is very simple. If the song started in C chord, this is what the progression would be like;
C C C C
F F C C
G F C C
Examples of songs that use the 12 bar blues are;
