Music
The sort of music that we want in our film is very conventional to the genre we are doing. We want indie, guitar based (at times) jumpy music. These are the some songs we have found as a base for what we want. We will expand and find more music in case we cant use the songs we have already picked.
Titles/opening scene: It's The Little Things We Do by The Zutons - Upbeat, Alternative song
Scene 10/gets soaked: Buttercups by Cajun Dance Party
Scene 12/caught with porn mag and tissues in hand: Amylase by Cajun Dance Party

Opening titles research
This is the opening titles for the TV show 'The Inbtweeners'. This show is a teen comedy and is similar to what we want to create. I have looked at the opening titles because this is one of the ways we can make our film fit the conventions of the comedy genre. What i would like to do is try and re-create the way they have made their lettering and the effects they have put on them. It introduces the show in such a way that you will know that is a comedy. This is because they have made their in a conventional way to show this.
