Possible Soundtracks

Sound can be used as a main feature to create a mood and a particular atmosphere. When making our film we decided we needed a particular sound track that would create tension and sadness. We though about which song to use because we feel that it is a very important part to the opening, as the first sounds heard by the audience.

We decided to come up with a few possibilities so we could see what would fit best with the end product.
Here are our ideas;

• Every time you go away - Brian McKnight


• How to save a life - The Fray


• Never felt this way - Alicia Keys


• Nothing else matters - Lucia Silvas


• Save the hero - Beyonce

One of our other ideas was to have another non-diegetic sound in the background. We thought having a twisted lullaby would cause the audience to feel uneasy, which would be perfect in the thriller genre.

This is the lullaby we chose;

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,

Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won't bark

Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

We know this lullaby would be too long, so decided we will pick certain lines out to create the effect we are looking for in the opening.
