Sound For Intro

The sound element is very important, especially for the opening scene since it sets the tone for the whole film. As a group, we believe that the music should be hispanic or motivational. Hispanic music would establish the fact that Elena is hispanic. The use of the motivational music would be because she has an obstacle presented in front of her and she is determined to overcome it.

We had a very hard time finding the right music to fit the mood of the opening, and are still figuring it out. We did not want it to be too motivational and dramatic. If we were to go the hispanic side, we would like to use a song such as "I Like It Like That" by Boogaloo. This song is upbeat and would grab the audience's attention while simultaneously informing the viewer of her ethnicity. If we were to go the motivational music route, an example of the type of song we would use is emotional cinematic background music/ambient piano instrumental by Ashamaluev Music. Both of these options could possibly fit our opening scene, but as a group we still need to decide which would be best from the songs everyone has chosen.
