I’ve managed to pull myself away for a few seconds to write my blog… I made this huge list of possible songs that I would like to use for my documentary. It’s safe to say that this was the more enjoyable side to preparing the doc. I found myself absorbed in the music, remembering the lyrics, rediscovering old favorites, and realizing why I don’t listen to hip-hop like I use to.
I finally decided on the tone of the doc. Just like old school hip-hop, I wanted to have a laid-back atmosphere. I wanted something that was lyrical but also allowed the audience to nod their heads. Artists like KRS-One, Nas, Mos Def, Common, and Talib Kweli are all expressing the tone that I would like to portray. The only thing left is to decide which songs to choose. Aside from my music selections, I’ve also decided on the GX that will be used. Since I want to maintain a laid-back tone to the doc, I don’t want to add busy or ostentatious GX that will take the audience out of what they are feeling.
It’s getting close to the production days and as of right now I feel okay about everything.
