Choosing the music for my film

  In the beginning it was pretty hard to choose the genre of music which could suit my main task. But then I remembered I watched the main theme of "Taxi Driver" and made a decision that it has to be jazz.

But the filming will take only approximately 50 minutes because one of my actors is having exams after lunchtime so I think that we will also continue to film on Friday. On Thursday I'm planning to film the bench and cafe scene. This won't be easy to do in just 50 minutes so I will have to push effort because on Friday I already want to do the next scenes. First scene is having main character sitting on a bench Second scene is a mix of two scenes in a cafe (first is main character finding out that he owns money to some guys, and the second part of the
