Sound

As a group we felt like the music for our trailer was an important factor as it helps create the emotion and set the scene. As royalty free music was needed, it made finding the music we want a difficult task, we spent a number of days searching for music we felt fit the trailer. We finally decided on two tracks: Insidious and a horror version of pop goes the weasel.

 Originally we had planned to only have one piece of music, after watching the clips we decided to have two. The beginning of the trailer acts as the equilibrium but begins to show the disappearance of Rosie, for this part Insidious was the final choice as it was quiet and slow, giving an uneasy feel and engaging the audience from the beginning.
For the second part of our trailer we decided on pop goes the weasel with a horror theme. The rest of our trailer builds up in pace, we needed music to fit this which pop goes the weasel does perfectly. From the start a twisted version of a nursery rhyme had been an idea we wanted  to explore, we believed that it fit well with the storyline and would unnerve the audience as it contrasts what nursery rhymes are suppose to do.

Sound effects: Sound fx were also important to our trailer, we watched many thriller trailers and found sound fx that became a typical convention, like a police siren. We decided on the sound effects of a child laughing, police sirens and a clock ticking to emphasise the concept of time.
