Fight Scenes/Music

In fight scenes or scenes of extended violence in movies the music will change between calm (or none) to dramatic/epic or heavy music. This will normally depend on what type of film it is. For example in 300 the music during fight scens is quite orchestral and dramatic. In The Matrix: Reloaded though there is a fight scene in a mansion and the music is quite heavy and electronic. 300 is a film set in the age of the Romans and the music used is classical and is fitting with the time period and likewise with the Matrix. My film is set in modern day so i want to use quite modern music. In one film i looked at,severance, the music during the intro is innapropriate but it works really well because of this. I am currently looking at different songs to put in but as i do not have any footage to try them on it is hard for me to decide what songs will actually work with the final product.
