Musical influences

The style of music will change depending on the scene. If it is a tender moment then I will use more classical influences but if it is a scene where she is out with a group of people taking drugs and alcohol which essentially means that she is having a good time, then I would place some urban and dance music. I have included examples I have taken inspiration from. A mixture of these sounds would be used for the rest of the film.

Classical  

This is a video of the song Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell which features in the emotionally overwhelming film 'Requiem for a Dream' directed by Darren Aronofsky. This epic film track inspired my second piece by using big, dramatic string instruments and the use of a choir which use their vocals to create a similar melody.

This is a video for the classical piece known as 'Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64, Act 1: Dance of the Knights.' This is a very famous piece most commonly known for serving as the theme tune on the BBC 1 show 'The Apprentice' as well as a musical accompanier for a ballet show. Again here, it is the big orchestral and string sound I have taken note of.

Dance 

This is a track called 'The Ride by Double N and features in the soundtrack for Lilya 4-ever, a film I have spoken about in earlier posts. It has a very europhic sound to it and I thought I could use this sound to reflect on the main setting London, which is of course a European city. Also, this is the kind of dance music I am most attracted too so I wanted to find any excuse to use it in my film. 

Uk Garage/Hip Hop

As a child, I was raised in Enfield which is a very Urban environment  This was also the time that UK Garage was at an all time high and this song is one of those I remember the most, so I thought it would be a very appropriate sound to include in my film as it reflects on my own experiment of living in that kind of area thus making it more personal and more approachable to me.
