Soundtrack Research - Final Thoughts

For our media piece we were not allowed to use copyrighted music, which made it hard for us to think about the type of music we wanted behind our monologue and film. We research many instrumental tracks to add to our film but in the end we decided on one.

In the end we decided to use a instrumetnal version of Katy Perry's Wide Awake that we found on YouTube. This wasnt copyrighted and was the perfect fit for our film. The piano version was perfectly steady and emotional for our film and fit right in with the monologue aswell.
We didnt want to include lyrics in the music for our film because it would get in the way of the monologue which we want all the attention to be on. We didnt want our audience to get distracted trying to analyse the meaning of the lyrics because we wanted them to be analysing the monologue and getting to know the character.
We editied the monologue with the sound and made it fit in with the tempo of the song. We made sure that as the characters voice got a bit higher and more emotional, so did the music. We cut parts out the make it match with the verbal noise and made sure it sounded perfect, ready for the film to go over the top of it.
Overall we are so excited about the soundtrack. We think it fits perfectly with the emotional monlouge and will go just as well with the film itself.
