Planning and Research of our Soundtrack

We decided that we wanted music that created tension and anticipation. Also music that kept our audience on the edge of their seats.

We did not want music that was very loud and we did not want the music to overpower the scenes that were going on. Therefore we wanted a soundtrack that was mysterious and eerie.

We searched on many websites and we found it very hard to find music that was copyright free. We asked many people that had made their own music to see if their music would fit, but most of it did not fit the genre.

We came across a website called Freeplay Music and this was very good as it allowed us to play and use music without any problems.

We searched through the website many many times untill we finally found a peice of music that fitted our opening sequence perfectly, it is called 'Thrilla' which is just a very good coinsidence!

Here is the description that the peice of music gave us .... " Moving ""Tribal"" percussive piece that features an eerie ""bowed"" guitar and pan flute with modulations. Sections of war drums interrupt the groove for a heart stopping effect."

We especially liked the 'heart stopping effect' and the music fitted brilliantly with the timming of our film and it gave us the feeling of anticipation and tension, which is what we wanted.

Problems that we Encountered

These are the problems that we encountered and how we overcame them, They are refering to the rescheduling that we had to do on our shooting schedule.

Problem we Encountered;

• The day that we went to film at codicote bottom: our bus to take us there was very late and therefore when we eventually got there to film the light had faded dramatically. Also when we decided to film what we could, the camera died and it ran out of battery. Therefore our first filming slot did not go so well. We then decided to ask our actors when they were next free to help us film.

How we Overcame the Problem; RESCHEDULE 1

• We had to find new actors and actresses as our previous actors could not do any of the days that we could reschedule to. They could do a few weeks in advance but unfortunatly we could not wait this long as if we did, we would be very behind in our schedule for the project. Therefore we found different actors and actresses to help us film at the rescheduled place and time, (woods near our school, around 4 o'clock). We changed the time as we realised that we needed more time to film in the light.

Problem we Encountered;

• When we went to film at the woods near our school at the rearranged time, unfortunatly the camera broke and it aslo killed our tape aswell! that had most of our footage on that we had fillmed.

How we Overcame the Problem; RESCHEDULE 2

• Therefore we had to go and ask the technition to fix it for us. He found that our footage had gone. Therefore we had to again reschedule to another day. We asked if our actors could do another day. The girls said yes and our boy said he couldnt

PROBLEM Therefore we had to find another boy to play the man part. This was very hard, but in the end we found sam and he said he could do it and we were very pleased.
