Single - Music for Fight Scenes

In today’s lesson I thought that it would be rather vital that there should be some music that is included in the fighting scene with James and Jeremy. Previously, when developing the idea we had thought that it would be a good idea to have some rather random piece of music that doesn’t really suit the piece just so it makes the audience a little bit more engaged as they aren’t exactly sure as to what’s happening. There is so many songs that we thought would be rather weird yet wonderful to use, here is a list of some of the songs:

·         Glenn Miller – In the mood

·         The Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls

·         New Order – Blue Monday

·         Lou Reed – Perfect Day

·         Pulp – Common People

So far we are more tempted to go for Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” as it is quite ironic.

For some reason myself and another member of my group decided that it would be more weirder/quirky if we had music varied from the 50’s/80’s. This was a good idea in my opinion as our piece is post-apocalyptic based so we have a wider range of music we can use. And it also means by doing this we can slightly take the audience away from the whole intenseness of the whole story and by the time it gets the final scene we can bring back the intenseness that was originally created and therefore engage with them in the biggest way possible.
