Jake Bugg-Trouble town

-This song had the western feel but wasn't quite right. The lyrics didn't fit well and it was too slow for our movie. Our western is a strong mix of a modern and traditional western so it would be preferred if we had something more up beat and something with a more modern flare. Overall, this song is a very good song and was a good starting point for us. 

Devilman-On Dis Ting/John Dege-Too old to die

-As we were are doing a modern western, we were told to maybe try and mix these two songs together to give it both the modern and traditional feel. We thought about it as 'On Dis Ting' is under the grime genre, which is popular at the moment but we were limited with the software and would struggle to make it sound good so we decided that it wasn’t the best idea to do.

A large reason for choosing John Dege is because this song was featured in Django Unchained. As Django Unchained is more of a future Western that has been released within the past 3 years, we listened to the soundtrack and analysed which song(s) would fit best for our opening.

Kanye West Ft Frank Ocean- No Church in the Wild

We decided that this song was perfect for our opening. This is because it has a strong guitar bass, which makes it both modern and traditional. The guitar side makes it feel older like the traditional westerns such as ‘The Good, The Bad & The Ugly’. The heavy bass and the rapping is what includes the modern aspect.
