Monday 23rd March

We have finally found a suitable song from an unsigned band called "GoodbyeStereo" and put it in our piece. We found it and downloaded it courtesy of musicglue.com which allows unsigned bands to get their music distributed worldwide through the use of free MP3 downloads. The song is indie but is bouncy enough to suit the genre, i particularly like the effect of the build up to the chorus and how it fits with the action on screen - the chorus kicks in as the two leave their houses. Another accidental thing that i really like is the way the lyrics "paint your lips red" coincide with Jessica putting her lip gloss on in the mirror. I feel a lot happier with the piece now that we have this new song as the song from garage band was too repetitive which made the intro seem very long. I'm still a little unhappy with the editing of the final couple of shots but i think that is more down to being a perfectionist. The piece overall is good, and i feel it suits the teen comedy genre but with a British twist which is aided by the use of the song from the British band "GoodbyeStereo" and the references to British pop culture such as Jordan and Peter.
