Opening Sequence - Soundtrack

In order to find the right soundtrack to our opening sequence, we browsed a royalty-free music website called Incompetech and YouTube. We found a lot of tracks that could have been used on Incompetech but none of them were entirely appropriate. We made narrowed it down to a list of five songs from both websites. The first song we had on the list was Inner Light by Kevin MacLeod.

We decided that this song was too slow and not engaging enough. It also sounds too festive. We decided against basing it around the Christmas period. The next song on the list is Montauk Point by Kevin MacLeod.

Again, we found that although this song does connote the romance genre, it is too slow and calm. Since this is set in London, we also want to connote the business of the city through the music. Another song we considered was Light Thought by Kevin MacLeod.

This song was also too soft and slow. Although it connoted the romance genre, it didn't match the business of London that we wanted to connote as well. The penultimate song on our list was So Bueno by The 126ers.

One of our ideas for the soundtrack was to use a radio station as opposed to just a song. This would have been the song that went behind the hosts talking. We decided against this because the next song in the list connotes the romance genre and was preferred when we asked some people from our target audience. In the end, we decided to go with The Engagement by Silent Partner.
