Music

I have been listening to different songs and imagining them with my footage; here are the songs I am going to choose from for my introduction when Sam is waking up, getting dressed, smoking weed and leaving the house. The first song is called Sleepyhead, by Passionpit. Passionpit is an alternative/electronic/indie band who hsave made several trippy songs. . This one in particular I feel would work well because it is very repetative and the variety of sounds and high pitches create a very sleepy vibe (even the name of the song is fitting). Sam is supposed to be sleepy!

 This song is called 'Down The Line' by José González. I feel this is very appropriate for my film (even if I played it somewhere else nearer the end) this is mainly because the lyrics are so relevant to my storyline. The lines that stand out to me most are;

I see problems down the line (there are always problems caused by drugs! It's a slippery slope)There was a dirt upon your hands (lots of drug addicts feel unclean and immoral)doing the same mistake twice (some feel like they did wrong and regret it, but still do it again)I see darkness down the line (they could easily end up in a dark place... not literally, emotionally)I know its hard to fight. (addictions are incredibly hard to fight)Dont let the darkness eat you up (don't let the drugs get hold of you)

On each second beat it has a drum sound, this is perfect to film Sam walking to... his voice is also very warming and easy to listen to, the song as a whole is modern and catchy. It would fit very well!

I thought about using this song for when Sam looks back at the camera and finds the horrible video. This song sounds really sad to me, it's very slow, and her voice is so soft and high pitched that it sounds haunting and ghostly. The lyrics are also unhappy so this helps to make the atmosphere more depressing and the scene, more moving.
'Stay awhile, my baby wants me to'
'Don't you go, my baby begs me so'
'And I get weak, I get weary
I miss sleep, I get moody'
