Soundtrack and sound

Throughout my thriller opening I will be using both digetic and non-digetic sounds.

Non digetic sound:

I will include eerie music throughout my thriller opening to give the effect of mystery and suspense.
I have chosen to use the website www.freeplaymusic.com to get my music from, as it is a source for free uncopyrighted music.
I have chosen 2 possible pieces of music from the website to use in my thriller opening:

1. The Platform - from the album Dark Dimensions Vol 7
2. Stardust Collector - also from the album Dark Dimensions Vol 7

Both of these pieces of music have an eerie/suspense feel to them which I think will fit in well with the plot of my thriller opening. I will be using The Platform when we see shots of the two girls and Stardust Collector when we see shots of The Intruder. However, when The Intruder sees the picture of Rachel's mother, Stardust Collector merges into The Platform just as he drops the picture.

I have chosen to use 2 different pieces of music for each set of characters as the girls represent good and The Intruder represents evil. This is shown through the music as The Platform has more of a softer eeriness to it and Stardust Collector has more of a bass to it, making it more jumpy and edgy. It distinguishes the two characters nicely, and as they are both similar in tempo I think they will blend well together in editing and wont seem messily put together.

I am considering putting another piece of music for the last title scene of the opening of my thriller, when we see the title of the film "The Intruder". However, I have yet to find a piece of music I think will fit but will continue to look.

Digetic sound:

I aim to include digetic sounds such as the actors talking, sound coming from the movement of objects and footsteps from the actors walking.
