These are some of the music choices that we have researched. After looking back at our music research of similar films we found a few pieces of music that we felt were effective and could work in our opening sequence:
Here are our main options:
This is called 'Arrival of the Birds'. I feel as thought this is a nice calm piece of music that will fit in well with the nice opening shots that we have. It is similar to the type of music that Forest Gump uses, which is a film we put a lot of research into as it is similar to our opening sequence. The only negative to this is a don't think it would fit well with our genre which is dark comedy. This music sounds like something you'd more likely find in a family drama.
This is called 'To Build a Home'. This piece of music is quite engaging as it comes out in little spurts which I think would work well in the beginning of as it could match our opening shots quite well. Although like the previous composition I don't think this piece of music matches our genre quite well as it is too sad. Also I'm positive I've heard this in an advert somewhere which means that it could be too recognisable.
This is called 'Requiem for a Dream'. I like the disturbing sound it has to the beginning of it as that fits into our genre of our film being dark. Although the song is well too well know for us to consider using in our opening sequence.
This is called 'Dance Little Liar' I believe this would fit our genre quite well as it does have a slightly disturbing sound to it but it can also be left open to comedy as it breaks into a steady beat. It is also a good track to sync transitions to it as it does have some heavy beats which would be effective for transitions.
In the end we choose 'Dance Little Lair' for our opening sequence as we felt it matched our genre very well and it isn't very well known which makes it original to us.
