this piece of music takes a very well known nursery rhyme and  turns it in to something very sinister. i think this is an okay piece of music but i feel it would not be right for our film and would be hard to take seriously when we are trying to create dramatic sapience at certain points in our opening two minutes. 



the combined effect of the high pitched stings coupled with the low steady beet of a drum in the distance has the "jaws effect" the drum gets slowly louder and faster creating the illusion that something is coming to get you. the music starts of slow which i do not like as we only have two minuets to work with and i feel it get a bigger effect if we cut out the first 10ish seconds so we move straight to the fast passed music and finally it cutting of revealing the suspense or ending with the killer being relived.  


"red letter" gives you a more supernatural "something going to get you feeling" by its use of  
light high pitched short repeated sequence of notes. this would go really well with any two minuet project involving the supernatural but as we aim to go for a more realistic approach it would be hard to work this into our film, but this is our first choice if we need something to build tenchion quickly and under the dialogue.



the wind pipes creates the effect of an opera singer, this adds to the spooky feeling. as the music goes on you get a fain drumming of a string instrument (possibly a guitar) this carry's on for a moment then the wind pipes are merged into a soft quire chorus matching the same notes as the wind pipes. this would work very well at the end of our film to give the viewer time to reflect on the events that have occurred in the two minutes. 



for the first 16/20 seconds there is a steady drumming occurring which has the same effect as "house of leaves" after 30 seconds it is coupled with the a faint horn creating the atmospheric tenchion and feeling that something is going to get you. i think this would for well in the part of the film before she is actually killed as  builds up the tenchion and also make the audience aware that this character isnt going to escape.
