Choosing the song

When it came to choosing the appropriate song we needed to really think about what kind of genre we were going for as we realised this would determine everything about the thriller: the theme, the feel and style of actors however it is only the opening therefore the atmosphere of it could change as film went on. We considered a pop type genre but didn't really look into any specific songs. This led onto the idea of using of pop/rock kind of song and immediately I offered to use my brothers bands song as that would mean we wouldn't need to waste time asking for permission to use it and not being sure. I immediately knew he would let me use it so I was fine with checking with him face to face. Being able to have my brothers song straight away allowed us to move past this stage pretty swiftly which was very useful time wise. 

So, we had the band and now we needed to choose the most suitable song of theirs. I played the group a few 'Pandora Fox' songs and in the end it was between these two songs:

They were pretty certain with 'Bird On The Wire' however did enjoy the others. This was the song that just stood out and we decided it was perfect for our thriller. We got a lot of inspiration from the videos already made regarding the fashion sense, type of shots and style of it all. This allowed us to push through to the planning of the rest of the opening.
