*music plays in backround*

Music plays an important role in establishing tone for the film. We initially decided that the tone would be suspense, but thinking about it now, and listening to samples on purple planet, I think we have to take a different route. Purple planet makes it easy to look for different music in different categories. I listened to a bunch of them and liked "trail of tears" from the reflective category at first. However, listening to it a second time I realized it wasn't exactly the right one I wanted for the film. I did learn that I wanted something calm and reflective, rather than suspenseful. Of course I have to discuss this with the rest of my group, but I am confident that we will agree on something.

Movies such as the Hunger Games and Divergent are dystopian films about a  single main character on a journey to change the views in society, who seem to have a reflective tone.

"In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late." (IMDB.com)

"Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games, a televised competition in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to fight to the death." (IMDB.com)

I feel choosing a reflective music tone would be the best choice for a dystopian/science fiction film. Especially considering that the opening credit is more introducing the main character's journey. I haven't picked the song yet, but having the tone/category will be helpful in finding the right one.
