Music / sound

Without music and sound effect horror films would lose its power to create any suspense or tension. The most effective tool used to frighten the audience is the use of music. Just imagine any horror film, where this a dramatic part if you mute the sound you would realize that the scene isn’t scary at all. Music plays a very important role in creating a successful horror film.

The most common type of music used in horror is orchestral music. This type of music has been used since the genre was made. The reason for the use of orchestral music is that it allows us to or send out emotions in a better or effective way. You are able to use variety type of instruments to create your very own mood which is suited to the film. However, the use of an orchestral has fell due to new technologies. For example people are able to create music on a pc with software such as fruity loops etc. due to technology people are able to use virtual instruments to create their very own music.

We have decided to use a child as our antagonist and thus I will go through horror trailer which also use little children and see what the similarities are and the difference which will then help me when making my horror trailer.
