Soundtrack

My group and I were discussing what we could use for the soundtrack of our film opening. We wanted it to link in with the mysterious side but have it innocent at the same time, just like a child.
We thought about having slow acoustic guitar or piano playing in a minor tone in the background almost unnoticed to give it a weird edge. We tried using the software 'Garage Band' on the Apple Mac to play around with the different sounds. By using this we then decided that the random strums of the guitar and the sounds from the piano wasn't what we were looking for as it didn't relate to the children being innocent. This is when we decided that we should use a nursery rhyme such as 'Three Blind Mice' or 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. We searched around for a simple yet effective nursery rhyme that we could use and found 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. I liked this a lot and started bringing it together using the different instruments on Garage Band. When putting the sounds together we made the start of the song sound normal and sweet like a child, but then the longer the song plays, the sound turns twisted and becomes out of tune and began to be played clumsily. This was played in time with our film as it starts to echo and turns twisted as the doll is seen on the clip.This creates suspense which is exactly what we wanted.
