Music used for 'Love Triangle'

Within Love Triangle, two very different style of music was requested to connote the storyline of the film and as an effect for the audience. 

At first the song was an upbeat and happy song where Charlotte is at home, getting ready for school and when she is with her friends. The song was called Cut and Dry. This music was chosen to represent Charlotte's personality of happy and bubbly. The music was used as an effect and to create Charlotte's character within the film. In teenage angst films upbeat and happy music is used when the characters are either partying or happy, such as in 'Foot loose' upbeat and happy music is used in the opening scene when they are dancing on the stage. From researching teenage angst films, I have learned that it is important that the music fits in with what is happening on the screen so they can both link together to create the whole storyline of the film which effects the audience when watching it.

However, when the 'popular' group collide with Charlotte the music changes. The music goes from upbeat and happy to slow, sad and tension, this suggests the relationship Charlotte has with Yasmin. The music change was specifically chosen when the two girls collided to suggest to the audience their relationship, throughout while this song is played, a flashback occurs which tells the storyline of Charlotte's and Yasmin's relationship and the music is played at a slow pace to back up the storyline. Therefore, after learning the music is the most important effect within a film, the pace of the music had to change when the popular group was introduced.
