Music and sound effects is vital in horror films as I found out in my earlier research. We have found a copyright free track from http://www.purple-planet.com/ This track is effective in our opening as it has a childlike ring to it, suggesting connotations such as the victim being to young to die. Also we have matched the beginning of the ringing with the start of the clips of the woods which proved to work very well. Below is the sound track we used for the beginning of our opening.
The next music clip we use is from http://incompetech.com for the rest of the planned storyboard.It has a slow, eerie, electronic feel to it which is great for the sequence of clips of them walking and coming across confusing and suspicious things. Much more of an impact is made in terms of the events occurring and the suspense is built.
We put the audio from the video of the iPhone over the top so that it is clearer to hear the sound also it makes it clearer to the audience why they are startled. The laughter in the background makes the scene a lot more creepy, also it allows the audience to establish the character as 'Josh' and the person who is a victim.
Sound effects we used include a typewriter, a bang and a rustle in the bushes. This enhances things that occur in our opening and make everything more dramatic.
