Music choices

Our original plan was to include a track over the film in order to help portray the story more throughly in parts of the film.

The main tracks that we have considered was :

Florence and the machine - Dog Days

However in order to use this film we would have to have wrote a letter to the bands representatives and to their label to ask permission to use the film.

On all our videos we would have had to put a no copyright intended notice and have to show that we have have permission to use the track.

However after much consideration we have decided that in order to keep our film more realistic and to keep the hard hitting edge to our film, we feel that it would not be suitable to to put a background track, in order to keep the realistic-ness in our film. Therefore we have just left the diegetic sounds in our film, as these are very important to the story,for example the scratching of the arms when trying to prepare herself for taking the drugs, I think that this is a very significant sound throughout the film as it helps portrays the sense of desperation which is a reoccuring theme throughout our short film.

Therefore we are just using the diegetic sound in our film of :

*The argument between Carly and her mother at two point in the film.

*The discussion between Carly and her teacher.

*And just the general diegetic background noise.
