Soundtrack

We decided to use only non-diegetic music for our opening. We decided to do this as there would be no dialogue within the scene anyway. We used the song "Mad World" by Gary Jules.









We attempted to give the scene a contradictory effect. This directly contradicts the narrative, as stated in one of our earlier blogs.
It is a contrapuntal mix. This is when the theme of the music diverges from what is going on in the film.  Other films that do this, for example, are:
- Resevoir dogs
Resevoir Dogs: Torture Scene

- Goodfellas
Goodfellas Opening (Skip to 2:01)

-A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange: Singing in the Rain Rape Scene
