Music/Soundscore

In the first ten seconds of our film we have heavy breathing recorded over the image, we decided to have this in the scene where Horatio is following Mia as it creates a sinister and threatening feel to the first ten seconds. The music we bring in with the first title of our film, and it is a piece called 'Sad Story' we got from a website called http://www.freeplaymusic.com/. The website is a copyright free music website. We chose this music as it begins with a soft piano in the beginning, creating a subtly sinister feel to the opening of the film, yet not obviously threatening; which reflects the fact that Horatio's obsession with Mia is not obvious and is much more subtle, yet the audience know there is something sinister and not quite right about him. The music later builds to a climax towards the end of the opening two minutes, which fits well with our film as in the story-line Horatio's obsession builds up to a climax, it also represents the disruption of his equilibrium, in terms of Todorov's narrative theory, when the pictures of Mia on the wall are shown.
