Music in our thriller

 We decided not to include dialogue in our thriller to create suspense and tension building up.
At the begining when the man and woman are in the car, we wanted a song to be playing on the radio as diegetic sound. We wanted a popular, mainstream song that you would find on the radio to create realism. However we realised that we needed to have original music that we could have permistion to use, so fortunately our teacher gave us permission to use one of his bands songs, as he owns the copyright because he wrote it. We decided to use the song, The beautiful loser by the Dakota Stars.

When the shot moves to outside the car we still wanted the song to play making it non diegetic, as a sound bridge as the woman leaves the car and the tension starts building.
