Ideas For Soundtrack and finding out how long the film is meant to be

Research: The module brief says the film has to be a max of three minutes. However as we are the last film group to be doing film this academic year I had a quick look on reflective journal at the other groups who had filmed to see how long they had done them for.  I had seen 5 minutes on a few of the journals so I can see that people have gone over the time limit so expecially with our script ticket we need the extra time due to alot of dialogue. 

Today Sound Man - Beidi and
Director Have Been Researching Romantic Music For Backing Soundtrack:

For the soundtrack we decided to have a soundtrack without words as we thought this would ditract from the actors dialogue meaning the film when whatched would be distracting and the audience would not be able to concentrate and connect with the plot and characters.   

We both looked at a few websites but quite a few have music with words and some had not much variety of music without words. Finally we found this website  http://live.freeplaymusic.com/#highlight=4 started looking at both romantic and classical music to broaden the search pool. I suggested classical to be searched with romantic as it can be seen as quite soft peaceful music and also it can be seen as abit more lively. It can relate to romance quite closely as romance can be seen to have these qualities. 

We decided to have three parts to the music - beginning, middle and end. 

Beginning - Peaceful ( this is for the scene where lisa is saying her voice over at the start of the film).

Middle - Happier (this is for the main part of the film where filming takes place on a stationairy bus and there is dialogue between Lisa and Sam).

End - Sad (This is for the bit where you see Lisa standing at the gate and when govener has his voice over).  

Music That we Have found and Beidi is going to get: 

• Beginning: - Pathfinder

• Middle: - Brighter Day - to start of the beginning of the middle section. Then onto Appalachian Sunrise for the rest of the middle section.

• End: -
