Our Music

Trying to find the right music for our opening sequence was very difficult because we didn't know what kind of music we wanted. We went on to YouTube for some inspiration and searched all types of things. We tried modern music by popular artists but they weren't what we wanted because we wanted typical horror music. 

Harrie found a song from 'The Woman in Black' that was exactly what we were looking for. The sound it made was really sinister and it had sound effects that sounded like children's toys, like the music that you get when you wind a jack-in-the-box. We put it with our opening sequence and it fitted perfectly, especially because we were using pictures and we wanted the picture to change on the beat for effect. We really wanted to be able to use this music in our opening sequence, however we would have had to of got permission to use it and this is a complicated and time-consuming task. We decided that we would  make our own music, and use some of the sounds that the music contains in our media, for example we really wanted it to have the same strong beat so that it fitting in with the picture changes.

We started playing around on garage band and looked at all the different sounds and instruments. We found some sounds that we liked from the 'Dark' and 'Distorted' sections of loops that when combined, gave us a strong beat and the sound we wanted. We repeated this effect throughout the whole song and then added some keyboard effects so that we would have some variety in our music.
