Degrassi 1012

Try Honesty, Pt. 2
Original Air Date: August 5, 2010

Just A Girl by Maiko Watson
Beautifully directed, beautifully shot, scripted, acted and cut, mixed and produced, this scene was unlike any we’d seen so far in Degrassi.  A perfect storm created a retro feel in the Dot, as if it were a soda and sundae shop from the 50s.  Maiko Watson’s track here was the cherry on that sundae.

Big Bad Wolf by The Heavy
The Heavy.  Great name.  Great band.  Oh and the scene, well, it really hurt to watch it.  Of course we had to watch it again, and again, and again, to try some songs out and line the right ones up.  Poor Eli.  This was more of a “though guy” moment and you’d think the Big Bad Wolf is Fitz – it isn’t.  It’s Eli.  He’s fearless, like a wolverine versus a grizzly bear.  Watch yourself.

It’s Gonna Be Hard When I’m Gone by The Audition
A debate of music here versus silence was in order.  We decided to include the song – however brief it’s placement – but the alternative may have worked also!  Sometimes silence can bring as much power to a moment as a song.  In this case, the song was more powerful than silence, but it was definitely worth discussing.

Bit By Bit by John Landry
The second placement for this foot tapping country track, it was definitely worth it.  A producer, editor and one of our personal favourites, we just had to have this song in the show twice, the excitement of the country restaurant was almost too much!
