Evaluation of Final Soundtrack

For our soundtrack, we used the first 1 minute 27 seconds of Sunny Days Are Over in our film, as this was the song we felt most appropriate to fit our thriller soundtrack. We felt that the song created the exact eerie feel and chilling ambiance that we were looking for. The steady but intense beat of the music means that when editing we could cut the footage to the beat, heightening tension and drama further; once we actually put the soundtrack to our film, we managed to fit the film so that the soundtrack accompanied the footage almost perfectly in many places. For example, the use of deep drums when Christian's evil eyes first appear on the screen, and the actor's name (Martin Lambert) fades in, creates a great feel of fear and tension; a feeling that we aim to create as it connotes the character himself very well.

In order to aid with the evaluation of our soundtrack, we showed our film to a different group to ask of their opinion of our soundtrack. The question asked was as follows:
'Does the sound track effectively enhance the mood & tone?' - all members of the group unanimously agreed that it did.
This is an example of an extended questionnaire answer which we gave out to the other group having viewed the film:
'The sound track adds to and heightens the mood and tone of the mise-en-scene fitting the action well. The sound track evokes tension and fear, and is quite dark, moody and heavy. The stings in the sound track make it eerie.'
