Chosen Music

We selected two main pieces of music for our production, both of which we are extremely happy with. It took a while to find them as we needed them to be as fitting as possible. The first piece, 'Possession' by Purple Planet Royalty Free Music, is a quiet and fairly chime like sound. This music opens the trailer as we thought a softer but mysterious sound would be more appropriate than intensity music at this point. By doing this it makes the more intense parts of the trailer stand out. This music also plays when Rosie is a child, and so creates an idea of childhood but in a more strange and eerie way. We used a section of this music to end the production too as we felt it linked the whole product together effectively.

The second piece we used was a lower and more eerie sound. We saw it was appropriate to bring it in at the point we did as it is just after Evylyn Crick has been introduced and therefore when the story begins to pick up intensity and horror.

Over this music we added our own sound effects such as loud bangs and strange high pitched sounds. This just created a little more volume and power to the production as the highlighted certain significant areas of the trailer, for example when we see Evylyn walk up the stairs in the reflection of the mirror. The sound we used then was 'apprehensive sound' by Mike Koeing which we found on www.soundbible.com. Without this sound this scene would just be quite average and not draw the viewer in as much.
