Hello good people of Notebook :D
I'm really interested to know what theme song you would use for you OC world theme songs, and I would genuinely like to know what would work for universe! Why did you choose that song? Please Explain?
Rules:
If its alright with you all, can you please tell me your song choices structured like this underneath? I'm sorry, but I most likely wont read it otherwise (._.)
You can tell me as many of your OC worlds as you like, just as long as you don't tell us every single detail about the plot(
OC World: The Disaster Project
Basic Plot: Three, British Teens (Christopher Kelsey, Amelia Schnee and Graham Blythe), all born to wealthy and popular families, have to find and bring about justice to the man (Mr Sullivan) who killed their parents, only… he's turned the police on them. Now on the run, they look for shelter and clues to the killers backstory together, finding anything they can to clear their names….. but his intentions seem almost justified when they find out more about the society that their parents were a part of….
Theme Song: Just Desserts by Marina and the Diamond and Charli XCX
Why this works: I personally think this works best as a theme song, as it alludes to the inevitable revenge and karma, that both sides of the story want. The kids want justice for the murder of their parents deaths, but Mr Sullivan wants revenge for the discrimination and anguish he received while he was a member of their parents secret society. The songs general tune is almost one of childlike fiendishness, which is fits perfectly for the villain's childlike and goofy demeanour. The other thing I like about it, is the line in the chorus "Waking everybody in the neighbourhood, telling everybody that I'm no good!", as its literally what Mr Sullivan is going around and doing, so that the kids can't find a safe place to stay, making them out to be fugitives….
What would be in it as it played:
Before the singing would officially start, I'd have the camera cut to area's in the story that we would see in the future. As this is set in a steam punk Britain, I'd show thing's like a remodelled Big Ben or a Rusty Blimp flying just above the London bridge. This will allow the viewers to get a feel for the universe.
As the first verse would play out, I'd show the parents in a exquisite private library (Dead on the floor with stab wounds), while the kids look down at their corpses, trying to hold back tears. It would then cut to them leaving the library through the back window, just before cops come into the room. They bolt down a street, passing various gear-clad steampunkians and stop in the middle of a alleyway, just to see someone wearing a top hat carrying a bloody knife tucked in his jacket pocket.
Just before the chorus starts, I'd have the main villain Mr Sullivan by a pin board (With his back to the camera), with various photos and notes all lined together with one red rope, pointing to a single sticky note that reads "The Heirloom".
As the chorus plays out, I'd have the kids running down streets getting shot at by police, Sneaking down dark areas with flashlights and hiding from Mr Sullivan in crowds, Just to get the real sense of danger to the audience. None of them are safe, and that is what I want to show.
Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to listen and read to your stories too. Please remember to use the format. Thank you (^▽^)- Sunny
