The soundtrack for our film was an ambient and suspenseful track, although after looking over our footage we have realised that in the beginning it doesn't quite match the atmosphere. The music seemed to be slightly too tense for the first few shots, the story follows a young woman mourning her friend- and at this point the track did not fit this. Throughout the piece the soundtrack also seemed to resemble a horror film soundtrack rather than a thriller, and didn't fit with the slow building tension we were aiming for. As a result we have decided to add various tracks to our film, one of a melancholic sound- to match the first section- and the next a slower track that increases tension as it progresses.
After re-looking at the sound we have managed to keep our original soundtrack 'suspenseful ambient', in keeping the track at a low volume throughout the piece it creates, rather than the horror style music it resembled before, a slow paced and tension building sound. Through the soft, slightly muffled noise under the diegetic sound of the bus and nature, it creates an eerie yet intriguing piece we felt perfectly fit our thriller opening.
We are also using various other non-diegetic sounds, such as our news report sound clip to keep the audience from becoming distracted by the soundtrack and focus attention back to the film. We felt that, from looking at successful thriller films, the soundtrack often goes unnoticed whilst simultaneously adding an eerie suspense, which we wanted to recreate.
