I know I've been doing A LOT of music blog posts, but it's useful for me to keep track on what songs do suit the purpose of my trailer... and it's a difficult thing, choosing which one's best; even if it's only going to be heard for about 10 seconds!
But after watching the X Factor, I took a liking to one of the songs sung, so tried to find it. The song was 'You Don't Own Me' originally by Lesley Gore but an artiste called 'Grace' done a new version which has a lot more attitude and passion!
I wasn't a fan of the rap in the song, though, (I felt it disrupted the flow) so fortunately found a video which cut it out and extended it by 50 seconds!
Grace - You Don't Own Me - Edited version
I just love the attitude in this version and how empowering it is! This song could be, though complementary to my trailer's narrative, it could be rather contrapuntal too, since she isn't really rebelling against a man, as such, but with herself by doing all these sexual things.
I could totally imagine a snippet of the chorus (about 49 seconds through - the chorus at 3:38 is especially beautiful) used near the middle-end of my trailer with parts of Alice putting on a 'performance' (her sitting the wrong way round on a chair comes to mind, whipping off her hat, letting her hair fall down her shoulders, comes to mind) with perhaps cross-cuttings of her boyfriend threatening her.
