Sound/music

We have been deciding whether to have music in our opening sequence, what music and where in our opening sequence to have it. Our opening sequence starts off with our main character taping his hands. This would not have any diegetic sound, so we think that there should be some sort of non-diegetic sound. However, in the next part of our sequence, there would be diegetic sound of the natural sound of the character boxing- e.g the sound of the punchbag being hit, panting.These sounds would be effective as the main focus of sound in our opening sequence, but we still feel we would need a soundtrack for the silent parts of the opening sequence. The next part of our sequence is when our main character hits another character, and cutting to see that the victim is dead. We definitely would need music which has a change in pace, pitch, etc to signify some change. After this, it cuts to the main character walking down an alley, which seems to be more into the beginning of the film rather than the opening sequence. Because of this, I thought that there should be another change of music. We thought we could have the music only just starting here, but then decided that there needed to be some sort of music in the beginning too. Also, the voiceover begins at this part so it would be too much sound starting at the same time.
