Setting the scene with music-
For our film opening we were having troubles finding good songs to have in the opening. We released we couldn't have a love song in out opening scene because someone is going to die, so we needed to set a scene.
As we are getting ready for a party we needed some up beat music but also sad.
We choose some songs, like Summer Time Sadness by Lana Del Rey, but the covers were to slow and didn't really fit. We also tried Wake me up inside by Evanescence, but covers were to bad quality and wasn't a wide range. We were disappointed that we couldn't have this song because it fitted well.
However, we found other covers of another band called Paramore. We found good covers that were upbeat.
We chose a song from them called Decode, famous by Paramore and has featured in the film Twilight in 2008.
In this we found a cover by MEMELii, that has done a good quality cover. We are going to use this song we are getting ready. We did find other covers but they were rather to slow or didn't fit the scene.
We have chosen two songs, one for the beginning when we are getting ready, and another when you see me dead. We are still having trouble finding the second song but we do have a good one by The Weeknd- Valerie (piano cover). This is the one we have liked but it hasn't be confirmed.
We did change the song in the end, we changed it to Lana Del Rey Young and Beautiful. So we found a good cover by The Theorist.
After editing the filming, we noticed this song didn't work, even though it was sad it didn't fit the emotion of the scene and me being dead. So we didn't know what song to pick. So we have chosen to make our own music, we went on something called Garage Band, where you can make your own tunes and music! I have beening makeing the song for the dieing scene and we will use this in our film.
The first part of our music is going to be Diegetic music, because I turn on my phone to hear music when I'm getting ready (Paramore Decode). The music is going to be diegetic for my character and Kims character (Cassie), after the next shot when it goes to Abi's character (Riley), just the music is going to be more of a overlap so sound is going on, so its be Non-diegetic for her and Chantelle character (Eva).
After I get killed there will be the music track that I made, this is going to be Non-diegetic music for all character, so the audience will feel sorry for the character becasue it is sad.

We have also made our own music for when the title comes up, there is two ideas, still don't know which one we are choosing.
After thinking we decided to go with Chantelle's song for the title, this is also done on Garage Band.
