We have written permission from Camille Andrea (the artist) to use her song in our film 'Maze'.
My partner and I decided to use minimal sound in our film, to emphasize our main character - Leah's emptiness and highlight her isolation. However, when attempting to run away for the first time in our opening sequence, we have Leah listening to a song by Camille Andrea named 'O.V.E.R' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncWv9YYop8I).
We chose to use this song in particular as it is very relevant to our narrative as Leah can't physically bring herself to end the violent relationship with her boyfriend Kevin and instead decides to run away whilst listening to this song that is very relevant to her situation, telling the audience what her relationship status is currently saying (it's O.V.E.R). This song almost shows what Leah would want or intend to tell her boyfriend, as a lyric in the song is 'you can't mend my broken heart inside'. This lyric is also signifying the violence that Leah has experienced throughout the course of her relationship as the artist sings about how hurt she is and almost connotes the theme of domestic violence within our film.
We decided to have Leah listen to this song as the audience can see that Leah can personally relate to the lyrics within the song. The audience will also be able to relate to this song as it fits within the music genre of UK Grime and our target audience being young and from Britain will also listen to this type of music and therefore may also be able to identify with this song, but the song will definitely appeal to my target audience - in particular the females. For example, in our treatment we identified our target audiences interests and concluded that they would to be interested in UK Grime.
