Initially, a friend had recommended using Free Music Archive but turns out Nicole has access to Epidemic Sound- which has a much more intuitive interface, and so many categories/genres to choose from.
As of now, we don't have a definite choice, but we've narrowed it down to the categories we have to sort through.
For the scene when Jasmin is in her room, we wanted pick a song with an overall "happy" tone, but the feeling we want to convey isn't quite happiness- it's more of a content feeling. I guess what I mean is that we don't want it to strike as pure happiness, but we want the viewer to know that she's much happier compared to in the interrogation scene. Now that I think of it, having something that just contrasts the tension of the interrogation scene might just be enough to get the point across. Still, I feel like the scene should be able to stand alone.
In regards to music genre for the happy scene, we don't really have a defined idea yet. All we know is that we want a kind of bohemian feel, and we don't want any genres that might interfere with that idea.
For the interrogation/gun scene, we also wanted to maintain the bohemian feel, but a completely different mood. Again, it's hard to describe something that you haven't heard yet, but we're picturing more ambient sound, with a low tempo that slowly crescendos as the scene progresses. A particular song on Epidemic reminded me of the feel of the soundtrack of both Heathers (1988) and Stranger Things(2016). The sort of mysterious, 80's vibe simultaneously conveys mystery and alludes to conflict- which would be appropriate for the mood of this scene.In Stranger Things, the theme song, and the repeated sound motif convey a sense of mystery, while alluding to conflict. Heathers has a more slow paced soundtrack, with ambient sound that has a haunting rhythm to it. This kind of rhythm, paired with Jasmin's monologue could potentially enhance the feel of the scene.
That's all the progress we've done in terms of music. We have a selection of songs that we want to test as we edit the clips together, but we're gonna continue to sort through the infinite supply of songs available- that is if we don't get too distracted by the Jazz section.
