We have looked at several different songs that we could use in the final draft of the film. As we have decided that the song used in the first draft didn't fit the film as well as it could have, we looked at the following songs and considered them as candidates for the final draft. The songs we looked at are as following:
I think that this song would go well with the very beginning of our opening as is has a very vague direction at the beginning. The simplness of it would not overshadow the dialogue and it does not sound overly upbeat so it does work with the tone of the film. However the change of the song after the opening section, does get very busy and as such, could become distracting and slightly inconsistent over the course of the film's opening,
This song definitely fits the slow pace needed and does not have a very crowded composition, something very important for our films opening. The problem with using this song for our opening lies in the melody of the song. It builds up to be very uplifting, something that is not at all fitting for our film.
This song does have a tone that is fitting for our film. Is is not especially sad and is far from upbeat and these factors would make it good to use in our film. The reason we haven't used this song however, is that it is a very well known song and could be seen as being a cliche if it were put in the opening of our film. It may also be a little too dramatic for the opening of our film to, having a full orchestra of instruments might confuse the audience if it were played during our opening sequence.
This cover was looked at because it is not too busy and has a very ambiguous tone to it, something that suits our film's opening very much. It is not too fast paced and having it play quietly over the dialogue sections is doable without distracting the audience. Because of all these factors, we eventually decided to use this cover song in our final draft.
