Sound

From what I have learned from looking at many different horror film openings it is clear to me that every successful horror film opening uses an effective accompanying soundtrack over the top of their footage to effectively set the mood of the scene and add to its mis-en-scene. However good quality effective sound tracks are protected by copyright infringements meaning that I cannot use them without having to ask for the artists and or record labels permission before I can use it, so instead I decided it would be far easier to search the Internet for some royalty free music to go over the top of my soundtrack to add to its overall effectiveness. I found a great deal of soundtracks perfect for my horror opening on the website http://www.purple-planet.com/ under their many different genres of music. I had the challenge here of finding the right track that would match the right mood that I wanted portrayed to my audience. Here are the 2 tracks that I narrowed down to in the end.

Into Battle:

I liked this track, it sounded tense and really helped to show the tension I was trying to portray to my target audience, however it seemed to be the same most of the way through and I thought that this may bore the audience so I decided not to use it.
Turning the screw:

In the end I decided I would use this track, its perfect for my scene. The pace of the music starts out slow but gradually builds to a climax as my hero gets cornered and really helps to build tension when it is needed.
