During the lesson we were introduced to the concept of foley sound and adding a soundtrack using Soundtrack Pro.
After experimenting with foley sound we decided that this sequence would work better with a soundtrack to build up the tension.
We used three pieces of music and carefully edited them together to create this piece which we think works really well with the Arlington Road opening it consists of:
- an up tempo melody as the boy walks down the road and we haven't seen his missing hand - creates a sense that something mysterious is going on but we don't yet know what this is
- A buzzing broken radio like sound when the extreme close ups of the boy's face are shown - this confirms that there is something very wrong
- A tension building orchestral dramatic piece as the man runs out of the car to the boy
We didn't play music right until the end as we think it would be best if the man's voice is heard from when the music stops.
