Music and Sound Effects

Music:
During editing I searched for some creepy/tense piano music to accompany the shots. Due to the fact that the scene is for the preliminary task I used a sound clip from YouTube. After importing the sound clip behind the scene I was pleasantly surprised at how well the music worked with the scene. I adjusted the volume of the track at different points of the short film so that the dialogue could be heard, however the transitions between the volumes were not as smooth as they could have been. Overall the music did work relatively well as it added a darker atmosphere to the piece which makes the audience become more involved in the scene.

Sound effects:
As well as the background music I also got the sound effect of the creaking door from YouTube. The added sound effect created a creepier effect for the audience and enhanced their understanding of the storyline. I also tried to add a sound effect of screams to the end of the piece however this effect didn't really work with the scene as it created an unrealistic atmosphere for the audience therefore i didn't leave the added scream sound effect on the finished preliminary task.
