Music

There is a certain moodiness that needs to be addressed and supported with the music. The music will mostly support the bio sections. I don't see there being any music in the dialogue scenes. Its nice to see that we've succeeded in building some nice characters during the production. I feel they play as authentic and sincere. I want to create a score that will support that. Like the characters, the music needs to be honest and straightforward. I don't want to go too emotional and Saccharin. At the same time, specially in Mile's case, there is a certain weight to what the characters are talking about. This is big life stuff. So there needs to be a little weight to it. In the case of the other characters, the music should support their upbeat outlook.

Some of the temp music that's in place was written and produced by Jesse Clark. His music is playful, emotional and at the same time very progressive. I really like it. At the same time, I wonder if it is too experimental for the audience.

The optional I was thinking of was a score with more traditional instruments. I wrote the shooting script with the film score for Amelie in mind. Instrumentally its very playful yet it has weight.
