Music Research

These are a few of the songs we were considering when choosing the background music for our opening sequence. We took music inspiration from films similar to the one which we were trying to achieve such as: Endless Love, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Spectacular Now. All of these films possess an indie music genre with songs that are heard of but not always acknowledged.

We wanted the songs that would be featured on our film to have a strong use of the guitar as we all felt that it created a chaotic mood and foreshadows that the main character, Aubrey wants to create trouble. We ended up choosing the songs: 'Naive' by The Kooks and 'I Kissed a Girl' by Katy Perry as they were both up beat and fairly modern songs which reflected the atmosphere perfectly. We used the instrumemtal versions because if we used the normal versions then our video would get copyrighted.

Here are the following songs we were considering:
