Task 16: Choice of Music

For our soundtrack, we chose a mixture of obscure music that would reflect the character's state of mind as well as the atmosphere. The first song we chose was ‘Be gone dull cage’ by Kiev. This song was effective as it highlighted the dark tone of the opening. The song above was chosen for the party scene due to the way in which the music mimicked the erratic...
