Copyrights

Our original production idea was to challenge several conventions through random changes in sound and atmosphere. Our mood changing songs was meant to be "Like A Prayer" by Madonna, but we failed to receive the copyrights necessary for us to use it as a part of our product. The beginning of our film creates a conventional Dystopian atmosphere of an abandoned location; we've used ambient sound effects such as thunder to use as little melodic sound as possible. After a really chaotic title sequence of the film, after the black out the lighting is edited to create a warm-looking atmosphere, in order to challenge the concept of what it's like outdoors (cold and dangerous). The anti-hero was meant to be a non-conventional which would make direct reference to the audience and break character depending on the situation that he is in. The whole purpose of using the song was for it to create a change in the mood of the film and challenge the genre of a serious dystopian thriller. This idea failed to work as to my surprise we never received the expected response from Madonna's managers.
