Over the summer, I have been considering what music would be most effective in our trailer. We want to achieve an edgy, urban vibe to correspond with the themes of our film, so we thought the genres of rap, hip hop and dubstep would be the most effective and would reflect the vein of the film the most effectively. Here, I have gathered a selection of possibilities.
D-Mindz- Monster
This song is a rap song with lyrics about a man being destroyed by his obsession for a woman, fitting with the themes of a love triangle. The lyrics 'I turned into something I didn't wanna, but you made me so cold' fit in with the thmes of violence in the film. Also, as the song is by a local musician, there are no issues with copyright.
Imogen Heap- Hide & Seek (Dubstep Remix)
The original version of this song is very bleak, using no instruments, only Heap's voice and an autotune machine, with lyrics speaking about loneliness and abandonment. However, the dubstep remix adds the edgy urban vibe we were seeking, and strikes the right balance between the melancholy (as the film is tragic in nature) and party-esque.
B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams- Airplanes
Again, this song features rapping, but features female vocals talking about needing a wish, adding the layer of melancholy necessary and relating to the group's predicament and wishing that they had never taken the money. However, we felt that the beat may be a little bit slow- we wanted something a little more fast paced to represent the pace of the film.
