Soundtrack Explanation



For my backing track to the production I was looking for a long time in order to find a song that was without lyrics as well as built in momentum as that was what my script would appear to do. Firstly I looked on 'Purple Planet' but the type of music on there would not have fitted with my script, I then moved onto looking at the music on my phone in order to discover whether any of the backing music of those songs, if the lyrics were taken out would fit with the script appropriately. As I had already written my script I was looking for something which would fit well with the general theme whilst still appealing to my target audience. As my target audience is 16-30 year olds I came to the conclusion that by opening my film with a relatively well known song, it could potentially appeal to my audience. The song which I chose was 'I Care' by Beyonce but I would need to remove the lyrics before using it and so I then searched YouTube for instrumental versions and I found this version which was covered on the piano and then uploaded to YouTube. The song would be recognisable to Beyonce fans as well as it goes well as it fits with the script (although as I asked around many of the people that watched my film did not recognise the music). 'I Care' built the tension of my script and could potentially make the audience confused at the beginning of the film but this would then be explained as the film progressed.
