Music

Within these genres you would expect cmputer generated music rather than songs from recording artists. The music tends to build suspension and keep the audience on edge. The types of instruments create a sharp sound by using violins and possibly organs. This adds and eeriness builds up tension and fear as the audience are not used to the song and don't know where it is going next.

This trailer shows an example of non-diegetic sound as the characters are not aware the music is in the scene. This inspired me in our planning especially as the music stops and starts which adds an element of anxiety to the viewer's experience.

Our film has elements of horror in so by watching the montage of sounds in this clip we were able to explore different compositions of sound and music. The sound in our genre is one of the central components in creating our desired effect, to scare and thrill our audience.

The opening music will set the standard and expectations for our film so we wanted to get it right.
