We want the first two minutes of our film to be quite fast paced
We will include some sections of composed music to maintain the pace we would like.
Drums will be prominent in the beginning with toms toms creating the main section of rhythm
Also a bass guitar will be playing very fast with the drums and maybe some lead guitar used to accent some notes.
