Many original scores from movies have influenced me greatly when thinking about what music to use within my short film, primarily the music Robert Rodriguez composed specifically for his friend Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill: Volume 2. The two instrumental songs I will write about here are titled "Do I Look Pretty" (1:29) and "Budd Twang" (1:14).

Do I Look Pretty: From 0:00 to 0:32, I think this would be perfect for the scene in which Roselyn is listening to Smith's ex-girlfriend's voicemail message, and 0:32 to 0:49 would be great for when she is considering poisoning Smith's tea. When the guitar kicks in at 0:49 Roselyn would've steel her resolve poison the tea and at 1:03 I would fade out the high pitched strings before the final horns in the song play. And then from 1:11 to 1:28 a lone bell can be heard ringing out three times, I could use this to imply a death toll ringing for Smith as she brings the tea through in slow motion. I am unsure about this last idea but it's always an option.
Budd Twang: From 0:37 to 1:14, I think this would be great for the ending of the short film in which Roselyn is contemplating what she's done and smiles at the camera in the last shot/note of the film/song. I think this would be good because the mood of the piece is very sombre, she is happy that she has got the money for herself before Smith betrayed her but she is also sad that it had to happen this way, but in the end he caused it so the song isn't too maudlin as she is ultimately happy by the last shot.
