Music: soundtrack pro

Our music became complicated when we began to overlap different sound clips to help create the atmosphere of our film, we started out with a music box that we had managed to find on soundtrack pro, this fit well with the film and added to the eeriness  of the film. However, as our film progressed we felt that the music box became more and more tedious as it went on and so we needed to add something else over the top so that the sound would blend together. So we began to look for more sound that we could possibly add to our film, we used soundtrack pro for a while and ended up deciding to add a heartbeat over certain parts of the film and deleting the music box sound from the same parts so that when the heartbeat was playing the effect was much more intense.


For the part when the girl is standing behind a tree and is then grabbed, we felt that by putting a blackout between the two clips it would add to the intensity. We looked through soundtrack pro but nothing seemed to fit with what we actually wanted within this clip, we then decided to look through youtube and locate videos that we would be able to take small clips out of without any copyright issues and luckily we were able to find something that worked well with what we were trying to achieve.


When the killer is walking away we first had the music box and heartbeat playing singularly over the clip but when watching this back we felt that it didn't look very good and so we once again used soundtrack pro to look for something to use. As the killer murders children, we felt some sort of noise of children playing would act as contrapuntal sound to what the audience was watching. We first found sound that was of an audience, but this didn't fit in well with the clip and in the end we managed to find a playground sound clip which fit perfectly with the clip.
