Possible soundtracks

As i know that I don't want dialouge in my opening sequence i know i want the main sound to be music. Here I started to look at possible soundtracks-

The Streets - Blinded By The Lights

Wiley - I Was Lost

The Streets - Has it come to this?
Nas - Lifes A Bitch
Wiley - Baby Girl

Past students research

Unfortunately Blogger won't let me put this video up on my blog but this is what I hope my finished product could look like. The effects and editing are far superior than anything I thought could be done. Although this is a different genre to my opening sequence I know that I want my editing to have jump cuts and be 'edgy' like this one.

To me this is an example of a bad piece of media work. The viedo has no narative and doesn't make sense. There also isn't much continuity which make the plot unbelievable. I plan to avoid these problems in my coursework by shooting all the scenes that are in one location at one times. This avoids unavoidable problems with continuity such as the weather.
