Horror Film Opening Sequence Possible Soundtrack Ideas



This could be a possible soundtrack for our opening sequence because it builds up and then gets quieter. This would create tension for the audience and would make them nervous about what may happen to the characters that are first seen in our opening sequence. A soundtrack like this could be used at the beginning of our opening sequence when the main title appears and the first shot of the couple walking through the park comes on. However, the sound effects in this soundtrack may not be suitable for our opening sequence theme so we would need to find a soundtrack without the sound effects and noises.



This could also be a possible soundtrack for our horror film opening sequence because it is quite slow-paced which would build up suspense in the audience and connotes that there is something evil and sinister going on in the park where we see the two characters walking the dog. A soundtrack like this could be used in the opening sequence when the dog finds the body because it would show the transition from the equilibrium of the couple walking their dog on a normal day to disequilibrium when they find the body.



A soundtrack similar to this could also be used in our opening sequence because it is very slow and quiet with a constant pace. This could be used to build up the tension and put the audience on edge as they wonder what will happen to the two characters walking in the park after they have found the dead body. The soundtrack also makes the characters seem more isolated because it is very quiet which makes itfeel as if the characters are in a remote place where no one can find them. The soundtrack could be used throughout the sequence, especially when the audience first see the characters walking through the park with the dog. By using the soundtrack here, a dark and sinister atmosphere is set and the audience begin to guess that something will happen to them.
