Soundtrack research

Soundtrack Research – Non-copyright music:

We couldn’t link any MP3/MP4 music to the blog. However, researching on YouTube, we found, as a group a selection of song that could be appropriate for the opening. We decided to choose a base song, then we can always add on footstep sounds and train sounds over the top. Our only problems with choosing the music is the copyright issue, we just had to make sure that everything is copyright free.

This piece is ‘Scary Horror Music’ – (Haunted):

This first piece, has a slow tempo with an eerie, mystical sound. Which suddenly changes to a loud chord on the piano, this could shock the audience as it is very sudden, it also increases tension as the tempo increases slightly, making the audience think something is about to happen.

The second piece we looked into was Horror Aftermath:

This piece immediately caught my eye due to its title and it would make sense due to our story line. However, after listening to it and reviewing it, we came to the conclusion that is was too quiet and wouldn’t have much of an impact on the audience which, as a group we discussed that we would like.

One of the selection is ‘One way or another’ (‘Stalker Episode’):

This is our favourite one as it directly relates to the opening of our film, and as soon as we heard it, we all agreed that this would fit well. It is slow as we wanted, as it shows a lack of action, as the action has already happened. It shows victory for the killer, yet defeat for the victims. The lyrics ‘one way or another, I’m gonna get you’ also is appropriate as one victim gets away, this infers that there will be a sequel as the killer hasn’t completely finished his business.

Overall, we decided that the ‘One way or another’ (‘Stalker Episode’) would be the best, due to the song being well known so it would make the audience feel involved, but also it is creepy as it has a slow twist put on it with a deep voice, this makes the song sound eerie and makes the audience feel as if they’re a part of the film.
