Final music choice
After changing our plot slightly we began looking for the music that would suit the start of film opening, we decided that a more relaxing soundtrack at the start would be an excellent choice because the film begins with a series of vlogs and therefore the soft and calming music would accompany the sequence well.
The relaxing electronic music was composed by 15 year old producer 'Oscar Lang' a This particular song offers huge contrast to the upcoming scenes but when we came across it, we found it was perfect for the first few seconds. The calming beats compliment the soothing atmosphere and help with the smooth transitions from calm - suspense in a matter of seconds.
- We decided to fade out the soft and relaxing music with something that offers a 'chilling' atmosphere but not too rough.
- We found a song titled 'Bent and Broken' which was copyright free and so we added chopped up the song and created something would compliment the film opening
- Bent and Broken was our first choice compared to the others (shown below) because it fitted in well with the scenes and was well synchronized
- The soundtrack is composed by Kevin MacLeod who is an American producer. MacLeod is best known for his distribution of royalty-free library music through his website, Incompetech.com.
- MacLeod has made over 2,000 self-composed pieces of music available for download
- His music has been used in Hugo, several commercial video games, and videos by online content creators such as CollegeHumor, Good Mythical Morning, and many other popular YouTube channels.
- We also took a free hip hop horror beat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFuOKf_Nz4I
- As the original soundtrack was did not build up enough suspense we laid the hip hop beat underneath it but we slowed it down to 10% to give a creepy sound due to the processes done on the track itself.
- The series of glitch effects have been accompanied with sound effects from http://99sounds.org/the-weird-side-samples/
- The Weird Side Samples is a free collection of glitch samples, weird sound effects and abstract sonic textures produced by Johan Ekelove
- Another sound effect added to our film opening was a simple 'switch' effect when the power cuts off. This is significant as it creates suspense, making the audience wonder what has happened to the main protagonist
Lost - Oscar Lang

Bent and Broken - Kevin Macleod
