Research Continued

     For the genre of drama, emotions play a big part when telling a story. Additionally, I've always liked the idea of things feeling out of place and incorrect. Therefore, I wanted my film opening to have music playing in the background that was very opposite to what is happening in the opening scene. 

    As I mentioned in another blog post, I want my opening scene to have the protagonist sitting at a table with pills spilled right in front of him. He is having a mental breakdown as he is staring at the pills trying to decide if he should be taking them or not. My inspiration for this came from a scene in episode 6, season 2, of the show Euphoria: 

    

    In this scene, my protagonist is going to be shown during his weakest point and when his mental illnesses have taken over his actions. Meaning that I want this scene to be very intense and dramatic. However, I want the audience to feel a sense of discomfort and disorientation. 

    In order to achieve this feeling, I want light-hearted music to be playing in the background of this scene as my character is going through a difficult time. So, I did some research, and I chose to have "La Vie En Rose" to be the song playing. I made sure that the song was CopyRight Free and found a link to it on youtube. I checked the description of the video and it stated that the song was under Creative Commons Licensing.
