Picking intro song and setting tone. Good idea or not?
Posted: Feb 11, 2013 7:28 pm
I picked out a song that would set the tone for the whole movie. Its about the dark, unloving upbringing of a bipolar girl and the things she does to cope with her life and get by. More in depth then that but you get the point. Here's what I have. This starts on page 3:
BEGIN TITLES
FADE to INTRO. Song words will set tone for movie. Alice in Chains “------------” is playing in the b.g. Before 0:41 in the song, production company information is seen. At 0:41, movie name. Credits between 0:42 and 3:25. At 3:26, cut to 4:25, FADE OUT song and begin movie.
The words in this Alice in Chains song work for what I want to portray. Is it a good idea to choose the song for your movie beforehand or describe how you want the song to be played so it "fits" the movie? How bad or good does the format seem? This is a well known band to so I realize money wise, for the production company, it may not fit either. Should I ditch this idea altogether or maybe reformat it?
