Sound Design

 To create a dreamy feeling for the beach dream sequence at the beginning of the film, I wanted to use a lo-fi artist since I associate these mellower songs with that genre.

Keshi is an artist I listen to a lot and I thought his music would work so I listened to Magnolia. Below is the song and I captioned my thoughts throughout the listen.

Next I thought I’d try Potsu since I listen to them to study since most of the music is instrumental.

Instrumental music seems to result to a heavier hitting baseline to keep listeners attention, so I turned to a lo-fi artist who is also considered R&B (Mac DeMarco).

I couldn’t think of any other artists who has music that fits what I’m imagining, so I scrolled my liked songs on Spotify and spotted Beach House.

I can’t believe this wasn’t my first though since this entire songs feels like the title, like you’re floating through space. I feel like this fits the dream sequence perfectly, so this is the mood music I decided on.

As for the alarm song, I had texted Maddie about scenes 2 and 3 and she sent me a playlist saying she had a “getting ready for school” playlist.

I went through and picked “Girls” by The 1975 as the alarm song since it was upbeat enough and I felt the title and lyrics allude to the MC’s interest in girls even more.
