The majority of romantic comedy openings use a popular music track throughout. Because we are an independent company we cannot use a song that will cost a lot of money and also there will be copyright issues. Instead we spoke to a friend of ours who is in a band called In Blue Skies and asked for permission to use their song "3 Summers" from their most recent EP. We chose this song because it is a lighthearted tune that sets the mood for the rest of the film.
We also considered the idea of recording the sound of a restaurant (people talking at their tables etc.) and adding it to the footage to make the setting of the restaurant more believable and for the song 3 Summers to be turned down as if it was music being played in the restaurant. We did not use this idea in the end as we didn't want to break the flow of the opening by changing the sound part of the way through.
