After researching a range of romantic/drama films, the soundtrack of each is that of a ballad. For the dying scenes in our production using this type of genre of music would appeal to the audience as the music sounds upsetting and therefore reflects the dramatic nature of the scenes. Examples of ballads that are used in other romantic/drama productions include 'Des'ree - Kissing You' used for the film Romeo and Juliet, 'Snow Patrol - Set Fire To The Third Bar' used for the film Dear John, and 'Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On' used for the film Titanic.

Despite these films having completely different story lines they all have a strong ballad to express the romance/dramatic nature of the film and are used to generate a sense of sadness and upset amongst the audience.
