Sound and Titles

On the 31st January our group began to dicuss what sort of sounds we would like in our opening sequence. We initially discussed soundbible for sound effects. An example of a sound effect we would like is a creepy moaning noise, which would be the reason why the district nurse went down into the cella. However, we found it difficult to find a sound effect we all prefered of soundbible so we decided to do our own sound for that part of the opening sequence.
Below is the website we used to find sound effects.

















As well as looking for sound effects, we also tried to find a music backing track to set the scene of our opening sequence. We think the backing track is very important as it helps tell the audience the mood of our opening sequence and the type of music we aim for is to give the impression our opening sequence is tense and something is not right about the house the district nurse entered.

There was a variety of music websites we found, however it was difficult to find copywrite free music. However, we found soundcloud and free music archieve.


Above is the 'free  music archive' website. We found it very useful as it allowed us to choose music from different types of music including instrumental, blues, spoken etc. We chose instrumental music, and we decided to choose an extract which suits the tone of our opening sequence the most. We like it slow because we believe it builds up tension and quiet  because it is more eerie.

We also began to discuss titles within the opening sequence. This enabled us to discuss the different roles we all took to produce the opening sequence. For example, we came to a conclusion that Leah was in charge of the camera, i was director, Danielle was costume and amber was editing.
