Similar Music: Research
Before finalising the music for Aftermath, I decided to look into similar films and the music that they used to set the tone of a particular scene. In The Deer Hunter (1978) the theme song 'Cavatina' composed by Stanley Myers is credited as a classical guitar piece that is used to primarily highlight the feelings of regret, nostalgia, longing and love of Robert De Niro's lead character after he returns from the Vietnam War. The piece first orginiated in 1970 for the The Walking Stick, a film about a woman who suffers from polio and the effects a handsome stranger has on her life. However, 'Cavatina' didn't achieve commercial success until it was featured as the soundtrack for The Deer Hunter whereupon it became a UK Top 20 hit. The song's gentle, melancholy quality would be fitting for the closing credits of our film as it would capture the sadness that Georgie feels when she realises that Charlotte is truly gone. The following link is a preview of 'Cavantina':https://youtu.be/qT4IS2N5ltI
We believe that the music previewed in the link above would be suitable for the flashback scenes in our film. |
