After watching Requiem for a Dream recently I found that I could take a lot away from it, especially in terms of how music can work in a film. Throughout the course of Requiem for a Dream, a song can be heard; Lux Aeterna, the song was produced by Clint Mansell. I feel that the tone of the song fits in perfectly with the film and is used in two different ways. At times in the film it is seen as quite an uplifting song. I find it very interesting that a song can create two completely separate moods based on what is shown visually. This is something that I would like to concentrate on when it comes to the sound design for Edgeplay; I believe that due to the nature of our film; being that the main protagonist is actually paying to be tortured, but isn't revealed till the end, the sound design could play a massive part in building the suspense and creating tension for when all is revealed.
