Task 16- Choice of Music

Choice of music

When deciding what music to use as a backing track, I had to consider the content of our opening sequence and how to build tension within the scenes without going over the top. I spent a long time analysing different backing tracks from known horror movies and finally decided on 'Dark ambient Space Music' 



This track plays throughout the majority of our opening sequence. I chose it because it gradually gets louder with more instruments as the track plays on; this complimented our opening sequence as the first scene is rather subtle however it graduates and becomes more creepy throughout the film.

I decided to change the track to more 'violent' sounding music after the girl in the film blacks out. This is because I wanted the music to give the impression that something bad is about to happen in the film.



As well as the music, I thought it would be effective to use various sound effects such as 'ear ringing' when the girl blacks out and the sound of a telephone.


I also used a 'boom' sound effect in the last scene as a type of jump scare for the viewers.
