WKW 3

27th May, 09

Since today would mostly be planning, I brought my laptop to school so that I could choose the songs that could be in my film.

I noticed that WKW uses canto pop a lot, but then I don't listen to canto pop at all, so I don't really know what to do until Ms Wong told me that I could use English pop. I also chose some soundtracks from other films.

Even though we've only filmed one scene yesterday, I got the mood that Joyce wants this film to achieve so,

At the time being, I chose these songs

There's A Girl by the Ditty Bops
I chose this song because it talks about a girl (obviously), but then the real reason was that I really like the instrumental parts. It's slightly canto pop like, and also, the girls in the band did an excellent job on harmonising.

Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy
This song is for the scene where Taylor (protagonist's dead girl friend) dances. It's a dreamy and slow song, and the chords are also beautifully played. It is also for the ease of Rebecca (Taylor)'s dancing because she knows this song, so dancing to it would come to her naturally.

Smellz Like A Party by B2K
To be very honest, I don't really have a reason to chose this song. I just really like it. Maybe I could use it in some of the scenes where Kelvin (the protagonist) is drunk

Blackbird by The Beatles
This could be the ending song for Kelvin's ending soliloquy because it is a very peaceful song. It is mainly just guitar strumming and a very light voice of Paul McCartney singing. It really suits our film because this song is very soft and somewhat melancholic, just like our film.

IB Learner Profile:
Thinker - By thinking and analysing each song in detail, i assigned a soundtrack to each scene of the movie. I think the decisions that i have made are quite reasonable.
