Music

Choosing a suitable selection of music for our production was quite a time consuming task as we had to ensure it fit correctly, and created the right mood. After a lot of searching we decided on two pieces of music both of which we were happy with.

The first piece of music opens the trailer, and is used towards the end of the trailer, this ties the production together and makes it seem symmetrical. The music is quiet, soft, and chime-like, almost like a lullaby or nursery rhyme, which could reflect the innocence of Rosie. 

After Evylns first appearance a more eerie piece of music with lower tones is introduced. The pace of this music is quicker and more intense allowing a build up of tension. From this point on the scenes are more haunting and scary.

We added sound effects to our production to build tension and scare the audience further. For example, loud bangs were used in appropriate places to make the audience jump, and be on edge. The scare factor is important in the horror genre, and sound contributes massively to this. 

"Music adds the emotional quality of the film. There is some empirical evidence to support this: fast and loud music arouses, slow and soft music calms. Motion and emotion are often entwined." -Meyer 1956
