During the New Bird post-production process, we have had some uncertainty about what music to use in order to fit the emotional requirements of the film. From the start, we have intended to use some punk-style music at some point in order to add energy and excitement to the piece and to play on the association between punk music and skateboarding.
In order to contrast this we wanted to create some emotional music to introduce the film, and an uplifting composition to finish the narrative. As she is responsible for sound, this has been Poppy's job, and she started working with a MIDI keyboard earlier in the week.
Having received the result of this, I am somewhat disappointed. The one original track is more befitting of a horror film, while there are no other tracks except for unfitting royalty-free tracks found online. This is not all that surprising as having not seen Poppy at all while I have edited, she hasn't seen the documentary coming together and so was unable to produce suitable tracks.
Instead, Jordan has contacted a local band, who have agreed to allow us to use one of their tracks. The band is Nai Harvest, and the track is entitled Tim Helped Me Get Over It. Fortunately, the track fits the documentary very well, and contains sections with varying moods, allowing us to use it as the only song featuring in the film.
