Music and Sound
For music, me and Flossi were adament from the start that the genre should be indie, something which would fit with the traget audience age and also the age and setting of the characters as the genre is especially popular amongst teens. Obvious choices for us to look at were Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T, so we set about looking for covers that could work. We came across a guitar cover of Mardy Bum by the Arctic Monkeys and knew it would work well and did when we trialed it with the intro. The fact that it was a cover without vocals played to our advantage as it enhanced the sound of the voiceover being played.
The voiceover proved our final hurdle as coming up with the script and finding an appropriate person to voice it was challenging. Initially we went through a range of people that we wanted to do the voiceover, one of the them being Fenton played by Sam Humby, but then realized in the test run that he and the others werent suitable. We were also working on the script and inititially found difficulty with it. After sitting and discussing we realized that we were again complicating matters by overthinking the script too much so decided to try and figure out the format in which we would present the characters through dialogue. We came up with the idea of using the voiceover guy to represent a future version of one of the characters, we chose Ashley, to reflect on his school days. We then decided to present the characters in a 'top trump' style, by ranking their qualities from -10 to 10. An example Daniel - Cool Skills 0, Dissection rate 9.8. By sticking to this format of introducing the characters we found it a much easier process. With the problem regarding who would be voicing it, we decided to choose our Media teacher Mr.Earl.
Overall the decisions we made I feel worked well to form our introduction. The music fit with the style, theme and audience of the film whilst the voiceover narrated and pulled together the introduction.
