As we must abide copyright laws, I looked at songs I would've used in my trailer if I could get permission. I looked at all the different moods they created and instruments they used in order to achieve this. I then looked at how I would be able to achieve similar effect either through recording unsigned friend artists or layering uncopyrighted sounds.

Whilst all of these would be relative to the romance genre, I also must consider sound that will apply to my sub- genre of social realism. In order to blend the two together, I will use voiceovers as sound bridges rather than diegetic, however ambient sound will be used (particularly in the beginning). I will have the ambient sound over the top of the backing track as it builds up to create the desired mood and atmosphere at that particular time in the film in addition to the character- audience relationship building up through the diegetic sound.
