Ideas for soundtrack

For my short films soundtrack , I tried to focus on music that built up tension and that has a faster pace.That way the film would be more effective in making the audience uneasy towards the resolution.Another focus was on having some effects that added to the short films shocking moments.I decided to use Free Sound as it had a huge collection of effects and music for free that I could include in my own production.In the past , I have previously had to much emphasis on my music in short films , so this year  wanted to have a script too.


                                                                  Psycho- shower scene

A strong example of a strong score in a film, Psycho slowly grows more terrifying as Janet Leigh travels to Bates Motel.The shower scene takes the audience completely by surprise sue to the shower being commonly known at the time as a place of safety and relaxation. Another major success with he scene is the music is very abrupt and loud , which heavily contrasts with the slow music the film
contained previously.

Jaws Theme 


This is again another iconic theme that compliments the action , in this case a shark approaching someone in the water.It is effective because it creates a sense of dread and panic whenever the monster appears , making us feel like one of the actors or actresses desperately trying to escape. This certainly influenced my climax , as it has a similarly hectic score.
