Entry 4: Music Choice

I don't think every film or piece of media needs music. It is argued that some pieces don't need music at all. With that in mind, for our piece we decided to begin our opening without the fill of music. This decision was made so that the audience's attention was paid to the couple. We wanted to put as little distraction to the couple as possible.
The scene will still involve foley sounds to keep the aroma of a diner. These foley sounds will be used to to portray the sounds of dishes being carried and utensils being clashed together. The chit chat of the people around them will be added on rather than recording the sounds of people eating, I'm pretty sure no one wants to have their conversations recorded.
The non-diegetic sound will begin to play when the camera starts to move away from the couple. This is because the couple's conversation is going to be less informative and so we can introduce the main problem. The problem being the man they have in the trunk of the car they have stolen.
In the process of picking the music we all decided to pick at least 5 songs, each, and from those estimated 15 songs we would choose the final 5 and then break it down to one. At the end of this, we came up with 20 songs. The list of songs is listed below:

Final Decisions-
Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene by Hozier
Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners
Voodoo Child by Jimmy Hendrix
Layla by Derek & The Dominos
Dream On by Aerosmith

From the 20 songs we all have chosen, Layla by Derek & The Dominos was the one we chose because it fits with the film. The song is interesting and draws attention along with giving a hint to what the film will be about. This will give homage to many classic drama films which used classic rock in the beginning of their films. It was also a personal choice, we all enjoy the song and felt that the song fits the pace of the film intro.
