Music

First music choice

I was aware that my old English teacher produces music, so I asked him if he could allow me to use one of his tracks for my film, he said yes and gave me a link to his website which is copy right free. There was a list of tracks on the website, and I chose this one.

Reasons for choosing it

The song is continues the same instruments are used throughout. The song is dreary and unexciting; you feel as if something’s going to happen but nothing does. This aspect of the song fits perfectly with the walking scene. As he’s walking he feels and looks miserable and lost, I feel his down mood is highlighted in this track.


Second Music choice

Because of time, I wasn’t able to re-create the fix you song by Coldplay. For this reason I had to be pragmatic and find a soundtrack quickly. I knew that Dylan who plays Mark is in a band called ‘Them Getaways’ , and so I asked him if I was able to use a soundtrack from his band he willingly accepted. Through email he sent me a list of possible tracks which he thought were similar to the 'Fix You' song. The last 50 seconds of the track wass perfect for the film. Firstly there was no voice only the track, secondly it was uplifting, and thirdly it had similar sound and feel to the Coldplay song, for this reason I used these tracks for the film.
