Choosing music for the opening

Now that we had put all our clips in order we had to decide on a track that will create tension and make the audience feel uncomfortable. When decided on the music we had to take in to consideration what we want to audience to feel and what mood it is going to bring, if we used a pop sounding track it would ruin the mood we are trying to create so we needed to pick a track that would create and eerie uncomfortable feel.

Another thing we had to take into consideration is that the track had to be non copy write so we had to look at specific websites that would let us use their music free. The names of the tracks are called "Dream scape" and "Eerie Angel" we decided these because we thought they would make the audience the most uncomfortable and give an eerie feel without being too cliche.

We decided to go with the track "eerie angel" The reason we chose this track is because it had a good build up to the climax and actually had a climax that could end, with the track "Dreamscape" it was very eerie but it didnt climax so the tension was not released ruinening the effect for our opening.

I think that the track went well with opening as it built suspense when needed and climaxed a the right moments it also gave the opening a really eerie feel and made me feel uncomfortable which is what we really wanted to achieve when deciding on the music.

Deciding on a name

Before we could finish out film we had to decide on a name, to do this we had to take into account the genre we had chosen. As we had chosen a Psychological thriller we couldn't make our name "The nightmare of the fluffy puppies" because it isn't eerie or mysterious so we sat down as a group and wrote a list of words down that would suit our genre (Dark, whispers, broken etc)

After a lengthy decision we decided on two names "The Unheard" and "Broken Whispers" The reason we decided on The Unheard is because we thought it was eerie so it fitted with out genre but not too cliche and it fitted with out storyline. The same applied to Broken Whispers but we thought this was a little more cliche than The Unheard.

We eventually decided to go with "The Unheard" I believe this was a good decision because it goes with our genre and our story line but it also isn't a cliche.

Final font choice

Bellow is the final font we chose to use, the reason we chose to use this font is because of its childlike features creating and eeriness about it but not falling into a cliche. The font we used is called "crappy dan" and here it is in each type of layout: all lowercase, Capitals at the start and all uppercase. The reason we decided to look at the font in all three ways is to get the best effect and the most aesthetically pleasing. One of the main reasons why we chose to look at the font in all lowercase is because it gives the best child like impression as it implies that whoever wrote it isn't very educated (A child)
