Hi blog! For music in our opening, we wanted to pick a kind of grungy yet upbeat song that fits both Sam and Kai's vibe since the scene happens with the music being diegetic, as Kai is listening to the song on the radio in his car, and Sam is listening to it on his wired headphones in his small iPod. It also needed to be a non-popular song, specifically by a small artist, since we did not want to go through a long process of getting the rights to using the music through a label. We visited a website called bulletproofbear.com, which is a place to go to access custom music for films, marketing, and other media-related projects.
The music that we found was called "Another Naive Generation" by Stephen Graziano, which fits in with the aesthetic of a classic dated coming of age film. One problem we may face is that the song is only 1:15, which means we are going to have to find a way to work around playing music for a decent portion of the film opening. The genre is rock and blues, which perfectly encompasses the two characters that are going to play the same song in the opening.
It was a tough task to find a song for the two of them, because we had spent so much time trying to differentiate the two characters, from costume, to lighting, to aesthetic, etc. However, I was really happy with the song we decided on. It sounds very stereotypical coming of age, as it has the classic high school heavy drum feeling that our film will not be an exception of in the genre we are portraying. Another good thing about it is that it has no words, meaning we won't have trouble trying to balance the timing of certain lyrics, volume of the words, etc.
