Choice Of Music

Since we downloaded four different sound tracks for our title sequence, we realised that we could not use them all, and would have to decide which one we would want to use.. We played the tracks numerous of times, and found that we liked the sound track "Crime Against The Person" quite a lot, due to it starting off quietly and unexpectedly there is a loud "crash" sound which produces a "jump" reaction, which we hope will occur during screening of this. We liked the sense of uneasiness this created as we listened to this, and felt as though it made the rest of the sequence notably more intense, ad anticipated what other surprises are to come.

The only negative thing that occured with this song, is the fact that it did not last as long as our title sequence, and there was no way of stretching or making the song last longer without it sounding stupid. Due to us liking the crash so well, we decided to keep the beggining of the song, right up until the crash sound, and then decided to place only song to continue throughout our title sequence, called ''Abyss''.

Music and Sound

The website we chose to look at for music to use in our titles was audionetwork due to it containing copyright free music, and being specialists in giving this to schools.

To find specifically what we what were looking for there was a menu on the side:

We browsed the Horror category under Mood/Atmosphere as this was the genre of our film:

This was the menu that appeared and we listened to the different tracks available. We wanted music that would give the impression that our title sequence is sinister and dark. Also, we wanted to make the audience feel at the edge of their seat, and gain an impression of our title sequence through the music. We managed to select 5 different tracks that we felt were most suited to the title sequence and downloaded them on to Kate's desktop.

The files which are highlighted in blue are the mp3's that we downloaded. To make a final decision on what music we want we will put each song to the title sequence once it is edited and asked various people who match our target audience, which they thought suited best, and then decided as a group if that was suitable enough.

Overall this was a successful process, due to their being such a huge range of music that we could use for our title sequence, as it is a popular genre for music. The only problem was that there was too much to chose from so it took quite a lot of time to listen to all of the tracks in the category we wanted.
