Soundtrack

  • When searching for uncopyrighted music, we found tracks created by David Firth, and felt that the tracks 'Mortician's Wife' and 'so 2005' would be effective in out opening.
  • I chose the track 'so 2005' as I was inspired by the use of contrapuntal sound in the opening sequence of the film 'The Woman in Black', in which the music has a positive tone, and contrasts with the sinister images seen in the sequence.

  • 'Mortician's Wife' is more effective for the second half of the sequence, as its ominous tone is more pronounced.  This is useful for our sequence, as we need the tension to build towards the end of the sequence, in which the killer approaches their victim.
  • However, I asked peers for feedback on this use of sound, and some stated that the slow pace of the music contrasted too heavily with the fast, jumpy pace at which the shots change.
  • Therefore, I feel that another upcopyrighted piece of music may need to be used.
