Callum and I have been doing the final touches all day:
- We needed to replace two shots as Layla cannot seem to not look at the camera which is highly frustrating.
- We also needed to add a track. We have used two different tracks.
- You Really Got A Hold On Me by She and Him
- Goin' Out Of My Head by Anthony and the Imperials.
We wanted to create the illusion that music is playing in the background (hence the two different tracks) whilst the protagonist is cooks.
You really got a hold on me..
We chose these particular songs to reflect Layla's emotions. Once we shot the film and had a rough cut and showed it to a few people the same questions were asked:
- Is this woman a mother? (photographs of children are present)
- If so, why is she being so crazy?
- Why is she so manic?
& so on.
Well I think I'm going out of my head, over you..
At this point, I came across this song and suddenly all the questions had be answered.
Yes she is a housewife, with children.
Yes she is manic, neurotic and impatient.
Yes she did have a husband.
Yes that is his foot she has cooked.
Yes she is planning on eating that.
The reason she comes across as so abnormal is simply because of him.
The husband.
She does the things she does, because of the way he makes her feel.
I feel this two songs work really well. They are not too cheesy.
