We decided to use a track from 'Film noodlings' by stephen scott, and 'Happy town' by 'Outrageous Flesh'.
We chose when the Film noodlings track because it goes nicely with the opening scene, it is slow, melodic and not too overpowering, which is ideal due to our quiet opening scene. We needed to induce emotion into the opening part, when Our character is writing, we needed to know it was a serious part of our opening scene, that it ideallised what the film was about and that it, although got attention, was not the focus of.
Happytown was chosen due to its contrasting sound in comparison. It is a happier, lyrical more jumpy kind of acoustic track, lyrically it is talking about a 'happy town', which goes nicely with london and also on the part where a bystander shouts "OI" after our character takes his paper the lyrics say "we kick and we scream" which i felt worked very nicely and also had a comedic effect to it.
Good account of the reasons for your choices. All the tracks are by Outrageous Flesh and 'Hey hey we're the misfits is the name of their cd. You need to make it clear that you have asked for, and been granted, use of the music by the musicians and that there is no copyright involved.
