Anna and I (Lucy) had decided that we were going to make some music on the software garageband as we could not find any copyright free music good enough to use in our sequence, so we started to make our own. We knew we wanted to keep to the 80's funky theme and include tense dark music in the points that the Stalker character would be on screen. Because of this we looked at our sequence and made a timeline to plan out at what seconds needed what type of sound. We would locate the point in which needed a different type of sound and map it out and then put this into our music. We successfully created this with alot of hard work and time, time being 3 hours. 2 lessons and a lunch time as we wanted to make it perfect, and we believe it was and we were very happy with it.
WHAT WENT WRONG
However when exporting our now finished song into iTunes, we realised it said that the song was 2minutes and 58seconds, when it should of been 1minute 30 seconds. What we had realised is that what we had though was seconds on garage band was actually 3 seconds and this had made our music to long, we were gutted however we are going to try our best to fix this the next lunch time and lesson we have to make it fit down to 1minute 30.

Audio/Sound for the opening
Obviously we understand that one of the main important things in a film is not just what the audience sees on the screen, but what they can hear.
As we want our opening to be simple and effective and not have too many things going on at once we have decided not to use speech in our scene. Although this is a risky decision we have decided to use only an audio track throughout the geration of the opening. Accordingly, our next important decision was which song would we use? Before a discussion of coming up with possible songs, we decided that because our opening is set in the 80's era, we wanted a song that went with the cheesy upbeat vibe of the 80's, therefore we have come to the decision of using the song 'Sussudio' by Phil Collins. We feel that this song would fit perfectly with the costumes and theme that we are going for.
Because our genre of film is thriller/mystery we understand that this song is not the obvious type that you would associate with this genre, but this is something we think will work to our advantage. Because the song will sharply contrast with the events happening on screen, we believe and hope this captures the audience and although may confuse them, their confusion will encourage them to continue to watch. Our inspiration for this is 'American Psycho' when this song is played it contrasts with the action on screen and adds to the stylishness of the film.
