Putting the last bits of our thriller together.

Initally me and Abdul started to work on the soundtrack whilst Jordane focused on the credits.
The soundtrack that we came up with wasn't very thrilling and i think that i over complicated things. We decided to start again keeping things simple and using melow tones. We were later joined by Jordane and in the end we decided ended up working together on one computer and we mangaged to create a very effective soudntrack.

Our soundtrack includes natural sounds such as birds whistling and doors opening which we added on the soundtrack software, it also includes a beat and some orchestrial instruemtns ( violins). There is also the constant sound of a piano playing softly whch creates a sad and gloomy atmosphere as well as creating continuity. There is direct correlation between the soundtrack and the action e.g when the intruder comes in the house the music becomes very tense and thrilling. There is then the sound of a heartbeat which adds to the tension by making us feel empathy towards the main character.

When we had finished we imported the sountrack and the credits into the final cut pro. We out the credits in places in which we felt wernt key moments and this was to prevent the audeice missing out on key bit of infomation. The credits had to moved around several times until we were happy but in the end we managed to finish everything.

I am very happy with the work which we have produced especially in the short time that we did it. I feel our thiller 'Illicit Content' is very good and I feel that it looks very professional.
