Music

When choosing our music we had to sieve through a lot of pieces to find one suitable for our production. We decided on two main pieces for our production both of which we were extremely pleased with. The first piece; Possession by Purple Planet Royalty free music,  in which opens the trailer, is quiet and chime like it is suitable as it almost reflects a nursery rhyme or lullaby which connotes the innocence of young Rosie. It is soft and mysterious thus making the more intense and fast paced music have more of an impact on the audience. We also incorporated this music at the end of the trailer in order to tie the production together and be rather symmetrical.

The second piece of music had a lower and more eerie tones to it and was introduced at the point just after the audience saw the ghostly woman for the first time (this subsequently is the point where the trailer adapts more menacing and haunting themes)


We also used sound effects to add intensity. For example, we used loud bangs to scare the audience at points where they were least expecting it. Using high pitched eerie sounds at certain points in the trailer created a haunting/chilling affect for the audience. The sounds used for the sound effects were 'apprehensive sound by Mike Koeing which we found on www.soundbible.com

"Music adds to 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
