Research and planning: Sound and music.

Sounds and music are crucial in atmospheric movies such as the horror genre, as they add an atmosphere and can foreshadow events adding to the suspense in horror.

As of such, planning the sounds and music was quite difficult, as we needed to get everything right in order to make this film seem like a horror.

The first thing I needed was a main theme, I was quite reluctant to use some of the internet's royalty free music as most of it was either terrible or not fitting to the theme of the film. Luckily however, I listen to Orchestrations from ZREO music, which takes soundtracks from Zelda games and orchestrates them into different music altogether.
Although this sounds like an odd source of music, ZREO Music was happy to provide music to people who puts special thanks in where due and also informing the staff, which I did both of.

Below is the email I sent

Sensitive information such as names and emails have been blacked out.

Unfortunately I did not get a reply but luckily I did not require one to use the theme, all I needed was to let them know of the project and with that completed I was able to use the theme I was looking at.

The sounds however, were luckily already installed to the system. At first I was reluctant to use predefined sounds but there was a lot of good sounds there, including the winds sound at the title and my first appearance, and also the stabbing sounds at the end.
