I will get this questionnaire I made answered so that I can use the information for my film and research and planning.

In my film’s story, the student becomes addicted to murder, enjoying doing it and looking for new & exciting (to the student) ways to kill people and I thought about possible music (will be filmed before music is added so if it does not work out, the music idea can be changed) for the film trailer… 

For the first bit where the student does not know that he will enjoy killing and is seeing something negative happen to the best friend of the student (the reason he kills for his first time), I will have some street rap music (probably the song “Block Music (Bang)” or another song (as her slower rapping in this song I think will suit the footage of the trailer (emotionally & visually) more than her rapping fast) from Shawnna’s “Block Music” album) to fit the atmosphere. After he has killed and realises he is enjoying murdering, I was thinking of some happy sounding music to reflect that the character is enjoying murdering people. (I was thinking of Jessica Simpson’s “A Public Affair” song, although the song may be too happy and unfitting of the footage, which could confuse people and mean people may  view it as a horror-comedy). Because of this, after the street rap intro, I am now planning to have some rock music for the footage where the character is enjoying killing people. And because the footage is filmed without music, I will be able to experiment with many music ideas to see what works best but my idea at the moment is to have a short bit at the start of Shawnna (rapper) and then some Lazyeye (rock band), but these are just ideas and I will see what will work after I’ve filmed my trailer.

My film idea (to be developed):

A good student accidentally kills someone, which makes him turn evil and become addicted to murder, resulting in the once good student killing the students and teachers, in extremely violent ways.
