Research Into Soundtrack - Opening Music

For our film, we decided that we needed some opening music as the title credits played to introduce the film. I researched into films of the same genre as ours and came across several different tracks which are played at the beginning of each film.

I decided to look at the opening music to the film A Walk To Remember. The song used is Cannonball by The Breeders, which is an alternative rock/pop song. The use of an upbeat, uptempo modern song like this is used to show the film is about youths/teenagers and this song portrays this well. It also establishes the film well and shows how happy the characters are at the beginning of the film.

For the film, Letters To Juliet, the opening music is the song You Got Me by Colbie Caillat. It is a pop/soft rock song and whilst it does sound slightly romantic, as the song kicks in it sounds slightly more upbeat, showing the happiness at the beginning of the film and the youthfulness it portrays.
