Music

• Due to the nature of our film, we had to identify particular aspects of music that we could incorporate into our piece to consolidate and capture the full mood and aura of the genre. After extensive research into the introductory sections of films, as regards to the musical content, it is evident that the soundtrack to a film is most effective when it includes ambient sounds and eery and mysterious sound effects. This is why we have used this information to create a piece of music that we know will create tension, suspense and mystery for the audience. 

• Once we had decided on which genre we wanted to use for our film, I began composing the song to fit the necessary requirements we needed to attract our target audience. Due to the fact that I was not competent enough to use Logic Studio (the program I used to compose the music,) we searched online for tutorials so that I learnt how to navigate and use the program effectively. I also read online manuals for Logic, which highlighted key techniques that were necessary to use. After a week, I felt confident enough to start composing my piece, so I began using the useful techniques I'd learnt to construct an effective, grasping, eery soundtrack.
