Soundtrack

We chose the soundtrack from Sleepy Hollow because it fits well in with our trailer. We orginally thought of a slow creepy lullaby which may seem like Hansel and Gretel but with a deranged twist. The soundtrack we originally chose was a lullaby but we thought that we wanted it to be a bit more up tempo so that it would fit in with the action scenes. It starts off slowly and then gradually gets faster, louder and heavier, we wanted to scare the audience as the song picked up the tempo. The song reflects on horror and action which is exactly how we wanted Hansel and Gretel to be perceived. The clips we slowed down at the beginning fitted in well with the slow tempo at the beginning and then started to pick up were we had snippets of clips to add to the fast pace. The tone of the song is eerie which is suited to the disturbed fairytale that we wanted to create. After the witch's door slams, the pace picks up which is used to excite the audience as it gradually leads to the point of seeing the witch's terrifying eyes which will hopefully have a dramatic effect. We used the Mac's microphone to record the loud shut of the door and stop the music to fit that in which is when the song picks up tempo. We think this song definitely fitted in with the pace of the clips better than the original lullaby.
