The Coalition

'Pumped up kicks' would be a perfect soundtrack for our five minute film, the narrative talks about the issue of American, high school killerlyrics describes teenager, baring a gun and shoots to kill kids from his school. Which is similar to our story, however our film is set in a UK secondary school,onfemale who's choice of weapon in a pair of scissors, which is more true to the surroundings, knife crime is the main problem in the UK, and gun crime is part of America culture, considering it is simple to get hold of one, because in many states they are legal, even in this day in age.
I quite like the tone of this song, the first time i listened to it it was playing on the radio on quite a beautiful day, the tone seemed very happy, and i hadn't listened to the lyrics closely by this point, the happy whistling and the bass seemed happy, and relaxed and very chilled, however once i found out what the story was, it made me feel that this song is very sick! Which is the exact tone we want to set for our final piece. I will put forward this idea to my group and hopefully they will have the same feelings towards this wonderfully disgusting piece of music.
This soundtrack, also give an idea of the year the film was made in 2011/2012, which was when this song was realised, it was a big hit and played on radios everyday, so one day when we look back on our film, it will also be a reminder of the time in which it was created.
