“Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.”

Music ideas (Research)

For the beginning of our opening sequence, our character is drunk and the editing is going to be blurred out vision. So the music can't be happy it has to be an intense piece of music, which creates a sense of danger and uncertainty. 

For the beginning of the video, we researched music for the beginning where the actor comes into the house drunk, as though he has just arrived home, from a night out drinking; we want it to be very intense and mysterious.


This type of music would go really well, with an edited out blurred effect.
