Deciding on the right kind of music for our thriller has been the hardest part of the editing process. We felt to fit our thriller we needed a tune/song the keep the claustrophobic and intense mood that our thriller provides. Also our thriller is not very fast paced and we needed slow music to fit the pace of our thriller and also we needed our tune/song to be subtle to also hold the intense and claustrophobic atmosphere.
Below is a video of a song we considered. After listening to this song over our footage we decided it did not fit what we wanted it to, it also did not fit our chosen subject as the following song would fit a thriller more to do with children characters. For example a thriller similar to 'Orphan'.
Another tune we came across is featured below. The ringtone tune from a film called 'One Missed Call'. We unfortunately cannot use this tune as it is not copyright free. We also decided it still did not fit the criteria we were looking for to give the atmosphere we wanted from the music in our thriller.
We then fortunately came across this copyright free song. It has the elegant chimes to show the characters innocence in this blurred, distorted world she has been forced into. It also has a reasonable pace which also fitted the pace of our thriller and it also kept the atmosphere we want and worked perfectly when played alongside our footage. This song also gave our thriller a dream like vibe and where our thriller begins in the characters point of view, the song can be represented as her mind and can show that she is oblivious to what is going on around her and where she is. Even though just listening to the clip below you cannot imagine it being music featured in a thriller, we liked the idea that it did subvert the genre, as the audiences thinking pattern throughout will hopefully be as distorted as the characters and for the first 2 minute opening we will want them to want to know more and we feel this music will encourage this. Also we feel that this music alongside what is seen in the thriller represents the delicacy of these women (shown through the two women in the clip) and their innocence as they are not being trafficked by choice, this song also sounds desperate as it goes on, representing their hope and cry for freedom.
As a group we decided that this was the song we wanted to use for our thriller.
