Jack and I decided it would be best to finally decide on the music that will be used in our film. After viewing many different songs together on the website we gave off our own opinions saying the pros and cons on using the certain songs. Around half hour into the search we felt it best to simply brainstorm a few key words and insert them into the "Key Words" search box on the website. The lexical choice Jack and I were going for were what type of tone we are trying to create with our film. An example would be the word "Dark", this word links directly to our chosen genre (horror) and also relates to the fact that our film is in fact a morally dark film. Alongside this the word "Slow" was chosen to suit the type of tempo we are going for, so the music continues slowly alongside the slow walking protagonist to create that link between image and sound.
Straight away we noticed the first available song ticked all the right boxes, its name, "Paregoric". Upon listening to the song together we were very unsure what to make of it, it was unlike anything we had ever heard before, containing not so much a rhythm but more of an eerie bass line which continues to pulse throughout the entire 4:52 of the song. The song then breaks the bass with the chiming of bells creating an extremely creepy feel to it. After listening to the song twice we knew it was perfect for the film, as not only does it give off the dark, mysterious and eerie feel we are going for, but it also will fit perfectly in the background for those scenes with dialogue also. We will certainly be considering this song for our film.
