Final Soundtrack choices - Dom

In the end we opted for a soundtrack similar to Little Larry. We chose an african beat, which may seem a bit odd before you listen to it along with the film, but it fits in really well with whats happening on screen. It portrays the monotony of our characters life, but in a  lighthearted and not depressing way!

I chose to make the soundtrack stop when he see the girl, to emphasise when he see the girl, he literally stops in his tracks. Once again, this brings across the point that this is the thing missing in his life. John, is responsible for the monologue so I expect he will post about the reasons for his choice of words.

During the office scene I chose to have this, a low note constant note to show how uncomfortable he feels being inside the boxy office.

The original african beat soundtrack called 'Accralate' will then pick up again after the office scene, and carryon till towards the end. Quite coincidentally and in our favour, the beat picks up pace for the last 20 seconds or so of the track; which is when our main character is looking for the girl that he saw earlier. I then chose to make it end abruptly when he finally see's her. My initial concern was that this end phase of the soundtrack would sound more like that of a conventional thriller. However, I think that  accompanied by the monologue it explains our character isn't a killer!

Ideally, a few more line will need to be recorded and uploaded to the film, just make it 100% clear what is going on.

An issue I found whilst editing was that the background noise of the sea and the town was overpowering the monologue and the soundtrack overpowering them both. This was easily solvable but long task, as I had to change the decibel level for each individual soundtrack.
