The Process Part 1 – song choices

For the preset of the play, i had chosen a certain track from the David Fincher film ‘Gone Girl’. I chose this particular piece of music because Fincher asked the composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to create music that always had that feeling of uncertainty about what happens in the scenes. The one i picked was called ‘the way he looks at me’ and i felt that this was a necessary way for the audience to step into this world that i created. The sounds in the track gives us a feeling of something unusual or not in place and with the stage being set how it was, this music intertwined perfectly into the aspect.

The closing song was by John Legend titled ‘All of me’. I chose this because its interesting how differently it can be interpreted. My character, John Doe, mimes the song as it plays at the end because it feels relevant to him and his narcissistic behavior. It’s clear that Legend is singing about a woman who he loves, but in a metaphorical sense one could say that the song can be all about self indulgence and that the person is in love with his own ego and self reflection. I’m not saying that John Legend is a narcissist, its just how the lyrics to the song make it seem that it is sung from the perspective of a narcissist.
