Adding & Editing Music/Sound effects-

Throughout all our editing process we have been altering and downloading sound effects and music. We made sure that all our sounds are royalty free by asking the person who uploaded it or searching for royalty free music.

• We started by increasing some of our ambient sounds on our footage.
• We then searched on YouTube for copyright free Thriller background music- we found a  'psychotic thriller sound effect' which was perfect for our Psychotic Thriller. This is the most used piece of music which starts when the victim first enters on the screen.

• Later on we found 'Creeping in the Woods' which sounded good for our titles at the end (before we changed all the titles) it gave the clip suspense but when we looked more deeply into it the music made the clip look to horror-like so we decided to cut it. (Listen to the track above)

•  A few sessions later we found 'Only one- piano cover'.(Listen to it above) This song reminds me of being alone and upset which is why I first thought of this song to put in. I knew this was a slow song but it was a trial and error situation. I thought it could go well if we choose to make any sort of flashback or when the victim was making tea, but in the end it wasn't suitable.

• In the next editing session I found 'Dramatic music for ending' this makes our opening scene finish very dramatically. This music is perfect for when the victim turns around and gasps at the camera and as the victim goes to open the door the music builds up tension, great for a climactic ending getting the audience asking questions. (Music above)

After looking for the music we started looking for sound effects to create more tension throughout the clip.

• We started by looking for a gun shot for when the victim gets dragged of by the kidnapper and gets pulled of the screen. Poppy found a 'Realistic gun shot sound' so we used that after double-checking that it wasn't copyrighted.
• Then I started looking for running sound effects but we there were none that fitted my speed of running so we just increased the volume in some places for ambient sounds.
• I then looked for a heartbeat for when the victim is crouched behind a tree. This creates tension and makes the clip look more like a Thriller.
