Soundtrack

For our opening scene, I think it would be good to have some really sad, emotional music whilst we are seeing the close ups of Rosie and her room. This music needs to play quietly so that we can hear the voice over of the parents arguing over the top. The beginning song- Broken Hearts (0:00-3:33).....................By: Michael Ortega sounds very dramatic and I think it will sound really professional and emotional with the shouting over the top and the close ups of Rosie and her emotions.






As our piece is set in the woods, I have been looking at some 'woodland soundtracks' for us to use for our piece.


For when Rosie first enters the woods and is playing around in the trees and lake, I think this music would fit really well as it is calm, happy yet mysterious, which means that the audience will foreshadow that something bad is going to happen later on in the film:

Removed- A powerful short film

                          
During the week, I came across this advert which fitted in nicely with the themes of our film. The advert has a sequence of shots were we can hear a voice over of her parents arguing and you see close ups of the little girl sitting on a beach, showing how upset and hurt she is. This can be used in our film for our opening sequence where we see Rosies room and the things in it and then Rosie sitting in her room, looking upset, whilst we hear a voice over of her parents arguing. Lots of different shots can be used here, like a panning shot, match on action (touching her face to wipe off a tear) high shots (to show that she feels weak and vulnerable), close ups to portray deeper emotions etc. The arguing gets more muffled as the shots focus on the little girl, to show that she is trying to blank them out and we can do this for our film in post production.
