Soundtrack Research

Soundtrack Research:

The common soundtrack for a horror film is slow,tense music which builds up in pace and volume. This eventually climaxes to a loud, out of sync note which stuns and scares the audience alongside the scene. The music usually correlates to what is happening in the scene. For example, if a character was running down a corridor at a fast pace, then the music would increase in tempo as well.

In the scene in our film, when the camera zooms in on the doll, we will have a slow,eerie piece of non copyrighted music, perhaps played on a violin, to create a dark and creepy atmosphere. This type of music would make the audience feel uncomfortable when watching the scene.

Another scene in our film will have one of us jumping out from behind a door. For this scene, we will use a piece of music on a piano, which will be building up to the character jumping out. At this point, the piece of music would end on a suspended note on the piano, to make the audience jump when watching the scene.
