Soundtrack:
We wanted our soundtrack to relate to the feminine feel of our piece, and fit well with the dancer.
We also wanted the track to build up, in order to help create the tension through our piece.
We wanted the piece of music to help create the atmosphere of our piece, and come across as subtly creepy. That can, along with the shots, create chills and an unsettling feel.

Criteria;
- Slow pace to begin with and then build up in pace
- Have a 'dance' feel, with a hint of feminine
- Instrumental piece


We listened to a number of soundtracks and shot listed some to listen to again.
We listened to the short list whilst watching some of our filmed footage, and some pieces of music had a too fast pace over all and others didn't have the right sense of tension.

We came to a conclusion to use the soundtrack: Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence
We felt it fits in with our criteria and seems to click with the storyline and the material we had filmed.



I cut and edited the music in order to fit with the piece, as the soundtrack was longer than our opening. I picked the best sections of the soundtrack, and ensured it still built up in pace and tension.

Camera Shutter
We want to use a camera shutter sound over some of our transactions/effects during our piece, to begin to raise mystery and questioning right from the start of our opening.
We researched many sound effects on the internet, and none sounded quite right.
In the end we recorded the sound from a digital camera, and imported the sound when editing.
