So originally we were gonna use boring ole' royalty-free music. While it is the easiest, it would be hard to find the music that best fits our chick flick film. The art of using music in the film is to choose music that underscores emotion without telegraphing it. The music sets the persona the characters are feeling. It guides the characters in feeling what the characters are feeling. If a character is distraught and crying, there wouldn't be an upbeat song in the background. That would confuse readers as it would misguide the meaning of the scene. There is no doubt that without composer John Williams, pivotal moments within Star Wars wouldn't be the same impact on the audience.
As we were thinking about what songs to choose Kelly had an epiphany of using her sister's song. We thought this was the best option as her sister's songs are all upbeat and match our film's genre. Kelly's sister, Brooke, even has a song named "dream boy" this resonates with the love interest plot. Although, if we're going to use Brookes songs we do need to get permission. This shouldn't be hard as we have direct contact with Brooke. Kelly texts her manager to get permission to use the song and we are waiting for her response. Her manager just messaged back saying yes!
