Sound and Music (Planning work from March)

Some of the Copywrite free music sites we found were:

-www.akmmusic.co.uk

-www.freeplaymusic.com

-www.trackline.com

-www.derekaudette.ottawaarts.com/music

-audio.lgfl.org.uk

Most of these sites specialised in sound effects, which was mainly what we were looking for anyway.
For our final cut we needed a heartbeat sound effect for the blackout to build up tension and dramatic effect. We had many heartbeats to choose from but we chose the loudest most dramatic, at quiet a fast pace, to suit the genre.
We also contemplated using a heavy breathing sound effect through parts but then decided against last minute, as we tried doing it ourselves but the sound wasn't very effective or as loud as we wanted.
The other sound we used was the bit to the opening scene of the house- the eery music, we felt it created the dream like state we were looking for, aswell as connoting the genre of the film. None of the music was aimed at a target audience, although we felt it would appeal to both male and females.


We also felt we didn't need any music throughout the outside bit of the opening, and were told in audience feedback that the silence was very effective and created tension as you could hear the footsteps of the girl clearly, and it made it seem more creepy and isolated.
Also we were criticised in feedback that the clips outside were catching sound from the wind, which got annoying to watch and didn't make build up the dramatic effect as wanted.

We created the eery music at the beginning on garageband, which was easy to transfer onto Imovie. The heartbeat we got off a copywrite free site.
