For our film Adelle and myself needed a selection of music tracks to add to our film opening to create a certain atmosphere. One needs to create a sad atmosphere, two need to create a happy/determined/new begining atmosphere, and one to open our film and intice the audience immediately. After watching crime films and listening to the correct genre of music we found a selection of songs to choose from. The songs we chose must conform to the codes and conventions identified by our audience research and film analysis; which was up-beat, fast, relaxing, stylish with a hint of jazz. After listening to Indie Rock music and Casino Jazz music we found a selection of songs that conformed to the codes and conventions.

Kasabian - Where did all the love go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xyAoGT9MKc)
Kasabian -  Swarfiga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLp4DDJMZPU)
The Casino Jazz Trio - Unknown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N59rnL8ILQ)
The Rolling Stone - Monkey Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNY8eYmzdH4)
Bruno - Sadness (Located from the site - http://www.freesound.org)
David Holmes - 69 Police (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWissIWxqKk)
David Holmes - Pickpockets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIdaNkPlKiQ)

After picking the songs, Adelle and myself placed the songs into our film opening to see which of them worked, unfortunately not all of the songs worked with the filming footage we have. Therefore we narrowed down the selection to:

Kasabian - Swarfiga (upbeat happy atmosphere)
The Rolling Stones - Monkey Man (this starts the film opening with a build up and climax)
Bruno - Sadness (this creates a sad atmosphere)
David Holmes - Pickpockets (upbeat happy atmosphere)

Eventually Adelle and myself decided to use all four of our chosen songs in our film opening, as we had our criteria filled; one sad song, 2 upbeat happy songs, and one song that provides a build up and climax for the begining.
