When researching alone for a song which would fit best within our film I found one track which struck me. I came across a track called Resentment. Similar to Paregoric the track doesn't sound typically like a song. The track contains what appears to be demonic voices whispering rapidly why a deep bass line is playing throughout, gradually getting louder and louder. Something that can only be described as a slit occasionally cuts through the track giving a sense of someone cutting something, instantly creating an enigma within the song itself. The haunting track I feel could go perfectly with the films conclusion, when he sees his dead body the main protagonist could perhaps break down and hear the track in the background (non-diegetically) as if this place he is in has a deeper darker meaning, and that many have suffered here before. The constant whispers finally finish with a large bang, this gives an opportunity for the credits to role in complete silence.
Another song I found which I felt would go perfectly within our film is a track called In the Mist. One of the main reasons I was drawn to this song was due to its title, as the protagonist appears alone in a misty environment, so after typing in specific words like suspenseful and tension building this was the song I was most drawn too. The song was perfect in every possible way, containing an elongated bass line throughout to support the protagonists walking, but also a huge bang towards to end to end the song. Although the song is only around a minute long, we had to loop it within the editing process, thankfully this turned out very well as we were extremely lucky for the occasional bangs to appear on moments which are able to adapt to certain shots. Another advantage of using this song was the fact that we were able to use the bang for the films final shot, to create that jumpy, startling moment that the horror genre is best known for.
