Hey everyone, Adrian here! We’ve officially decided to incorporate “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne into Fading Into You! It’s not going to play throughout the film, but rather as a small but meaningful detail in the school scene.
How It Will Be Used
During the school lunch scene, Adrian will be sitting alone, reading a book, while Tati is at a picnic table with her friends. In the background, “Sk8er Boi” will be playing through Adrian’s earbuds—setting up his character’s laid-back, alternative vibe.
Then, when he glances at Tati and her friends, there’s a slight pause as he debates whether to make a move. At that moment, he takes out his phone and skips the song, cutting off the music entirely.
Why This Works
- Subtle Character Detail – This moment adds a layer to Adrian’s personality, showing his casual taste in music and possibly hinting at his nervousness.
- Sets the Mood – The song brings in that early 2000s teen movie energy, fitting the nostalgic feel we’re aiming for.
Breaks the Silence – Instead of going straight into the dialogue, it gives a quick transition moment before Adrian decides to interact with Tati’s group.
What’s Next?
We’re really excited about how this small music cue will enhance the scene. It’s a fun nod to our film’s inspirations while adding a more natural, realistic feel to Adrian’s character. Stay tuned for more filming updates!
