Non-diegetic
Happy Rock and Background Music, which Erin made on garage band.
We chose these two non diegetic tracks because they both have a happy vibe to them but also keep to the rock theme we wanted. This is because the message we want to put across with the mental illness is rather serious, and it can be a rather daunting situation to approach, and rather sensitive to, so we didn't want to stray away from the harsh realities we were trying to explore within the film with upbeat, happy music.
Diegetic Music:
Ash's voice over- this is because in Teen Angst movies stereotypically in the opening sequence this is a convention you will normally come across. With films I had researched such as Juno, Easy A the breakfast club etc they all has a voice over at the beginning to introduce the main character and their friends, to set the film into motion in a sense. so we wanted to incorporate that convention into our film opening to.
Amplified Sound:
Kicking of the can
We chose to make the kicking of the sound amplified, because we wanted the harsh reality that teenagers stereotypically can be moody, stroppy and unhappy most days, and especially when school is in the agenda. As this is Ash's walk to school and Ash suffers from the mental health disorder depression, we wanted to demonstrate this not only through what she says but through body language and psychical actions, therefore the kicking of the can.
