The Music

Music can also play an important part in films. The music can set a theme or atmosphere or something to hint to the audience on what to expect or how they should react to something. 'RUMOURS' plays a similar role, but the music in the film would make particular scenes meaningful.

We decided to use music of today's generation, most notably indie music. The reasons for this is that it can easily relate to the teens and young adults of today's generation and it could grab their attention if the scene itself isn't enough to do so. This idea was influenced by 'The Inbetweeners', as they are known for their large selection of indie music as well as its great comedy!

Get Back Colquitt- 'Collateral'

One of the soundtracks used was 'Collateral' by Get Back Colquitt. Get Back Colquitt is a Indie band from Liverpool, England. This is a band that I personally know, and I also got permission to use this track in the film during one of the flashback sequences.

The reason why this song was selected for the first flashback sequence, was because it had a good tempo, good beat, and it would be perfect to sync in many movements within the beat of the song (such as the shower spraying water in sync to one of the beats). This would also be good to show a build up to a party, as the main character (myself) would be getting ready, before attending a party, which would start in time for when the song kicks into the chorus.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers- 'Psycho Sexy'


For the second flashback, Duncan chose an instrumental version of 'Psycho Sexy'. The purpose of this song would be to show not only am I drunk, but to show that I am cocky, thinking that I am sexually irresistible as I approach a female. This would of course have a different outcome to what my character is expecting, but that is for the audience to find out what the outcome is!

George Michael- 'Careless Whisper' & Metallica 'Damage Inc'




The song 'Careless Whisper' was chosen by myself, as it was used during the start of the third flashback sequence. This would be used to set the atmosphere up to show that my character is attempting to be romantic with the girl that he is attempting to flirt with. The music is then cut to 'Damage Inc', when the girl's boyfriend appears onto the scene, which would then bring in the atmosphere of madness and peril, as the boyfriend is angry that I am flirting with his girlfriend.

Berlin- 'You Take My Breath Away'

This track was used when the transvestite returned with a can of whipped cream and a missal toe. This song would be used to represent the transvestites love for the main character as he finds him sexually irresistible. This song would also make the scene more cringey, as that is the response we were aiming for to get from our audience.
