Unfortunately the soundtrack that we previously chosen was not suitable for the footage that we filmed so, today, as part of constructing our title sequence and starting to prepare and gear towards the first screening of our title sequence, myself and Jack started to look for a suitable soundtrack for our title sequence, The Journey. Our aim was to find a touching and smooth song with the characteristic of a build up. This is because our title sequence is a comparison between younger Jack and older Jack and we felt a build up in the title sequence would be very suitable and receive positive feedback. We firstly found The xx - Intro but however this soundtrack is copyrighted so unfortunately we could not use this soundtrack.

The soundtrack we finally decided to use is very orchestral. with simple piano chords at the start then violins come in to quicken it up and then even more violins and drums. There is then a short break in the music then a rumbling of the drums introduce the crescendo of the soundtrack making it reach its loudest and most atmospheric point. I'd say our soundtrack is very inspirational and fitting to our film because the very simple and almost timid beginning of the song correlates to the attitude of our protagonist at the beginning of his journey and then he grows and grows until finally reaching a crescendo which in our characters life would represent him signing his football contract and becoming such a well respected sportsman and most importantly finally achieving his dream.
