Music.

Music is an integral part of any film as it conveys a certain message across and evokes certain moods. For example fast tempo music with instruments such as guitars and drums would suggests an adrenaline, high impact sound that would suit the action/thriller genre. As our genre is J horror so we have decided to use slow piano music as it evokes mystery and suspense.  It is horror film music we found on youtube 'isisip original piano music'.  We believe it would fit perfectly with the images and the setting we aim to create.

It creates an eerie mysterious surrounding and can be interpreted in a range of ways, as the action goes on in the background. We don't want music which only represents one certain mood or emotion, as it doesn't allow for the viewer to make their own assumptions and have their own ideas through their own imagination. We used piano music because it is a slow and soothing, but there is still a horror aspect to it. It also allows suspense to build. It is subtle but effective and still creates the kind of aural imagery we hope to convey.

This is the music we have selected for our opening sequence.
