CONSTRUCTION: Music References

The music we used is very upbeat and string-instrument based, i.e. banjo, acoustic guitar, ukulele. We drew inspiration for this from films such as 'It's Kind of A Funny Story' and 'Struck By Lightning', 'Struck by Lightning' in particular being a big influence for our music choice.

(this clip is the whole movie since the opening is not on youtube - just watch the first couple of minutes)

The song we used, "Building Blocks", is here: http://freeplaymusic.com/search.aspx?q=building%20blocks

It connotes our genre since it is light-hearted but not too upbeat and energetic, the right balance of the drama and comedy aspects of our film.

The main inspiration we drew from Struck by Lightning was the guitar/string melody, as it was also present in Adam's soundtrack, so we knew it was conventional for the genre and would help the audience to recognise it as a rom-com drama.
