Music


Music 

We have two pieces of music in our production:
The first piece of music is called ‘Evening of chaos’, and we got from here http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?feels[]=Mysterious&feels[]=Suspenseful&feels[]=Unnerving. We chose this music as it starts with high notes played by a piano, which sound eerie, and calm but sinister and suggestive. It also sounds like its outdoors, which is good because our opening few shots is outdoors, therefore it fits well and seems appropriate. 

Then, there’s a few loud banging noises building up, and the music reaches its crescendo. This fits in with the quiet atmosphere of the characters calm walk with her pram; when the music builds up, so does her characters suspicions that somebody may be following her. As the tempo of the music quickens and goes louder, the main character is seen running up the stairs as this is when she realizes her baby has gone. 

 When the title 'baby' appears on screen it is accompanied by a short, loud, final bit of the music. This is effective in emphasizing the shock and realization that the main character feels, and the viewers are supposed to emphasize. 

The second piece of music is called ‘incy wincy spider’, we got it from this website http://www.stockmusic.net/index.cfm/page/main.SearchTracks/startRow/26/trackId/2471.This music is a version of the children’s nursery rhyme ‘incy wincy spider’ played using chimes. When it is put with the sinister scene of a baby being kidnapped it fits well in creating a scary, thriller-type atmosphere. The music seems peaceful, tranquil and calming, opposed to the panicked, adrenaline filled event that is happening. This has a greater effect on the viewer as opposed to a fast tempo piece of music as it implies that time has slowed down and emphasizes the disbelief of the situation.
