Music for romance scenes needs to set a mood which tells the audience how the characters are feeling. Often during such scenes, the music played is either quite upbeat, happy pop music and in other cases the music is a lot more relaxed and formal like a piano or violin piece.
Since the music used for our film opening has to switch from this style of music to a horror style as previously researched we need to use a piece of music that will flow well with quick, sharp changes to clips of horror style music.
For this reason, I think it is best we use an instrumental piece such a piano or violin as this would mean when the clip is cut up it will flow better than a pop track where the lyrics will sound weird all over the place. Also it means that we can choose and pick out parts of the piece without worrying too much about how it will sound cut up. Another reason would be that it would fit the mood of the scene a lot better than something upbeat as the characters will be having a meal together, which in movies is usually accompanied by something like a piano piece. The piece we choose to use will have to set the mood as being a little uneasy due to the female character having visions but still fit around the romantic meal. The music for the getting ready scene needs to be a little more upbeat and give off a mood that suggests hopefulness of the night ahead or maybe vulnerability.
I focused on looking at the work of Ludovico Einaudi and these are some of the pieces that I found that we could possibly use:
Getting Ready: 'Vento Di Domani', 'Password', 'Primavera', 'In Un'altra Vita'.
Romantic Meal: 'Solo', 'I Giorni', 'Monday', 'I Due Fiumi', 'Rose'.
