Music - Lacrimosa

An important but one of the less emphasised aspects of film making, sound, or more specifically, music is not a visual aspect, yet it deepens the emotion and mood of a scene. It can also cause juxtaposition, which is when the sound which is heard doesn't match the image which is seen. This usually has the effect of intensifying the effect of the image shown. For our film, we wanted to create an eerie low sound to be the back ground noise of the majority of the film, however, once the interrogation scene reached the climactic peak, we wanted to also have a fast paced drum beat, which would coincide with the fast paced escape.

For the low sound, we used Mozart's 'Lacrimosa'



However we felt that the unedited piece wasn't low enough or eerie enough, so we slowed it down. This gave the effect that it was creepy and sinister. This emphasised the mood of the scenes, a depressing and dark time of oppresion and dictatorship.
