analysis of the use of music in Greace

The music used in this introduction is diagetic as is introduced by a radio DJ, who introduces the song by saying "get out of bed its the first day of school, dont be a slobb, dont get a job, you can pass" this helps introduce the time of year and day to the viewer, as the characters could be listening to the radio as they get ready of school. Also it has a fairly slow tempo, which matches the speed of the introduction.

The actual song used is "Grease" written by Barry Gibb [part of the Bee Gees] especially for the film and preformed by Frankie Valli and became a number on single in the USA in 1978. This shows that the type of music used in conventional for the times and popular both in the movie and real life. This mean our sound track will have to conform to modern / popular music but probably be quite slow moving to help the pans flow and give a seance of calm and tranquility. However there are lyrics in the song 'Grease' which later relate to the film, however is we used vocals in our music we would have to find a recording studio and someone willing to sing, as well as this we would have to thin up lyrics. Therefore it will probably be easier and sound better if our music dose not include lyrics but is made to sound like an instrumental to give the seance that the rest of the song has lyrics.
