Music

When looking at music it seems integral to our work, so much so that I have begun to look at different aspects of out documentary that we want to show through music. 

1) Cinematic - as the documentary that's central theme is film (as well as Janaan's condition), I think having an ode to one of Janaan's favourite film would be good, weather it be a small snippet of the audio as she watches the film or and audio that mirrors the epic soundtrack of the film.

2) Nostalgic - The aesthetic of the documentary will have a melancholy, nostalgic feeling to evoke feelings of loss and remembrance from the audience. It is only fitting that the music also mirrors the bittersweet aspects of Janaan's condition as well as to help guide the audience on Janaan's journey to film. This music would be more calming and have an instrumental familiarity as though the audience has heard the tune but can not recall it.

3) Fantasy - Janaan discusses her dreams, and her fantasy drawings, these hold a whimsical feeling to them and almost hold music within them. this music would again be whimsical but more traditional in sound, with an almost Celtic tone. This will help the audience to enter into Janaan's world and display her creativity.

We are not planning to use all of these ideas, rather keep the best aspects of them and work from there. One member of out group had also reached out to a sound design friend who has offered to help us create some original music. By working with him we hope to truly bring Janaan's mind into an audible place,
