Choice of Music

To get the right effect and atmosphere for our thriller, it was important to select the correct music. We wanted to create a tense, yet eery feeling. When looking for music to use, we had to ensure it was copyright free, in order to do this, we used freeplaymusic.com.
As our thriller focuses around water, we wanted to carry this theme over into the music. We found a couple of tracks that gave the effect of water dropping but this did not fit in with the waves on the beach. In the end we opted for a distorted, "tinkling" type effect sound to play in the slower parts of the opening.
When the images start to rewind, the music was too slow to fit with the images so we decided we would need to find another track to play here. This time we opted for a more fast paced track but kept to the distorted effect so that the sound would flow correctly. To add emphasis to certain parts within the thriller, we added sound stings. Once example of this is the loud sting at the end of our opening where our antagonist opens her eyes in the water, adding to the atmosphere and possible startling the audience.
