Score Notes

Suspenseful soundtrack

We used a suspenseful non-diegetic soundtrack that we found on YouTube during the beginning of our opening sequence. It was used during the first scene when Emily was trying to escape from the shed – where the antagonists had tied her up. This added to the suspense and put the audience on edge throughout the scene. The soundtrack is fast paced and so puts the audience on edge – making them wonder what will happen next. When the scene its peak, the volume was risen to create more tension. This also suggests to the audience that something is about to happen – putting them on edge even more. When Emily escaped the shed, the soundtrack changed.

Eerie soundtrack

When Emily had escaped the shed, the suspenseful soundtrack cut to an eerie soundtrack. This was used when Emily was running though the forest – trying to escape from the antagonists. The eerie soundtrack helped to create a scary and uncomfortable atmosphere – fitting into the thriller genre. The eerie soundtrack also fit the location as the location was an empty and isolated forest.
