Today on final cut express, we edited the graveyard scenes of Jake when he is looking down at his Fathers gravestone. We also started to think of possible song choices for this opening sequence in which we felt would fit in best with the scenery and storyline yet without being too heavy in which we would be unable to hear the voiceover of Jake speaking about his father.
When researching song choices we discovered that the band 'The XX' had the best style of music in which fitted in with our theme and grungey/indie styling ideas. We also decided that whatever piece of music we would use would have to be an instrumental version otherwise the voicover would be unclear and more difficult for the audience to understand. We then narrowed it down to the three following songs.
The XX - Missing
The XX - Angels
The XX - Intro
The majority of our grouped decided on the song "Intro" as there are firstly no lyrics in the opening section yet also because it linked in with the down-beat, sad theme of the specific sequence in which it is being included, yet without being too 'depressing' in which we felt may perhaps bore our audience. Yet the use of the underlying beat helps to liven the piece of music and also keep the audience interested as it moves on to the next scene/location.

This is the song that we have chosen to use in the opening sequence of our film, 'Intro' by The XX.
