Planning Final Projects - Music

1) This is the first track our group has decided to use. We haven gone for an indie/rock track to present our nerd character as someone who's into different types of music and not your typical genre of music that teens may listen too. By using this track to open up our opening we feel that it will set a easy laid back atmosphere for our opening to show that it wont be a serious drama film but more so a comedy film. 2) In order to show that our character is rushing for college in one part of our opening we decided we would stick to indie and rock music but speed up the tempo abit in order to show that our character is in a hurry. So we chose this track. 3)Part of our opening involves our character having a run in with the 'cool tough guys' who are very intimidating, this is because he gets distracted by the girl who is with them and ends up losing control of his skateboard which ends up hitting one of these guys. In order to show that they are tough and mean we decided to use a very 'gangster' type of music to do so and we thought this would be appropriate. 4) We also decided to keep the gangster themed music for the chase scene but the first track was not a fast enough tempo so we decided to use another track while our main nerd character is being chased by the two guys.
