There will be a voiceover from Katy (the main female character) in some of the flashback scenes to explain her feelings to the audience; thus involving the viewer and making the flashbacks seem more personal. We will need to write a script for Amelia and record the voiceover during post production as we need to have finished editing the shots so we know where we want the dialogue to occur, then we can add the voiceover to the footage in the specific places (which will be in a few of the flashback scenes). The voiceover shouldn't dominate the film opening as we want ambient music to be playing in the background to set the scene.
The soundtrack for the film opening is called 'Final Gripe', we did consider two other songs; 'Adios' and 'Feathers in the wind', but we narrowed it down to one, as we want the sound to be simple and to not distract the viewer from the main footage. We found the music on a copyright free website; Freeplay Music so we are not using any copyright material. The chosen music is described on the website as a 'Bright and cheerful acoustic guitars fingerpick optimistically as piano and electric guitar flesh out the hopeful feel' I think it is a happy, light hearted, indie tune that fits our genre perfectly and further enhances the positive, romantic atmosphere we want to portray. The beat of the music also fits with our style of editing - at one point the tempo of the music changes when there is a shot transition, which subtly reinforces the depiction of time moving forward. I really like our choice of music as it evokes the carefree feeling of young love blossoming; which is exactly the mood we want our film opening to convey.
