Music Choices

For the music for our title sequence, Hannah and I wanted to choose a soundtrack that was dramatic and intense to fit our mystery crime thriller. We wanted the audience to feel excited and frightened as they watched. The following are the three potential choices for our sequence chosen from incompetech:


 Inexorable 

Reign Supreme 

The House of Leaves 


Ultimately we chose to use The House of Leaves after adding each soundtrack in our sequence during the editing process and came to a conclusion that the music chosen best suited our work. The House of Leaves creates a suspense for the audience as the instrumental is eerie and intense- which is the desired atmosphere we wanted to create in our sequence.  In addition, we chose this piece as we liked the flow of the music as it gradually builds to a crescendo creating a build up of tension. Hannah and I believed this effect worked well with the visuals as our sequence gradually builds up and concludes with a dramatic climax.

Furthermore, towards the end we decided to add in the sound effects of footsteps and a loud metal drum noise to further intensify the build up to our sequence. We think this choice is effective as it creates excitement for our audience.
