When discussing our music options for our film we were very aware of how certain types of music would anchor the audience to a particular feeling. We wanted our audience to feel sorry for our main character throughout the first half of the film so the twist in the tale came as more of a shock when it is revealed. To do this we wanted a moving piece of music that would make the audience feel emotionally connected to our character Megan. We spoke about our options and decided that soft piano pieces worked best in this situation, as seen in films such as Love Actually and Twilight. Here is a video of our original ideas when it came to piano pieces. We had a few piano pieces in mind and had to pick one from the following;
- Claude Debussy - Claire de lune - http://youtu.be/LlvUepMa31o
- Yiruma - A river flows in you - http://youtu.be/rhN7SG-H-3k
- Craig Armstrong - Glasgow love theme – http://youtu.be/c9CgEsq2MPU
- Ludovico Einaudi - Fuori Dal Mondo http://youtu.be/2Z2BGWp1caM
After deliberating within the group and testing out each piano piece with our film we decided that Einaudi's piece 'Fuori Dal Mundo' was the best match for our film. Even watching our own film and knowing what was going to happen next we still felt some sympathy for the character Megan. The music gave us the right emotional touch that we needed for the film and helps get the message across that mental illness is a very serious and life-changing condition.
