Soundtrack Research

Bob Marley - Could You Be Love
It is a good song for our opening sequence because it is up beat and could relate to having a good morning. It has a foreign style of music but suits the genre well as many other social realism films have used reggae in their opening sequences.


Bob Marley - Could You Be Love (Remix)
This one is good like the above one but has been re-mixed to contain elements which british music contains which also links to the film. It contains drum beats which are similar to ones in club music in the UK.





another like this is red red wine - UB40, however we are going to go for more Ska than Reggae because it is more linked to british culture. Also this music is too cheery.



I think to acheive what we want from the soundtrack we need to compose a original piece but we have a clear idea of what we will compose.
