A convention of short films is to have a non-diegetic soundtrack which is separate from the dialogue and ambient sound. This creates atmosphere and adds to the scene e.g. music in a horror film would build tension, in my case, music in a drama compliments what is happening on screen, for example if there is a sad scene then the music will reflect this. (However, most of the time in drama the only noise there is is diegetic to create realism, non-diegetic sound is only used at certain points in the drama).
I have decided that for my short film I want to use classical music as this genre tends to have no singing and therefore this will not interfere with the dialogue from the characters. I think this will be quite professional and cinematic.
Dementia is a taboo subject and one that is quite sad and hard to talk about. The narrative of my short film depicts a family's struggle through this and coming to terms with it. Therefore the music in my film will create quite a sad atmosphere.
Here are some of the ideas I have had so far. When it comes to editing my film, I will see which works best.
