Music

For our music we have a nursery rhyme over the top of our dream sequence. This is because it reflects the youth and innocence of the boy. When nursery rhymes are sung by children in a slow pace, it gives the audience a sense of unease when listening to it because the normal tones associated with children are upbeat and happy. This immediately makes the audience uncomfortable.
When looking for ideas for our nursery rhyme, we had a look at other examples such as:

The Woman in Black

Pirates of the Caribbean 

When it came to choosing the final music for our film, we wanted to use a nursery rhyme that linked in with our film. Originally I suggested we create our own but completely from scratch but we decided to choose one that people had heard before so they could relate to it. 'Row Row Row Your Boat' linked in with our stream aspect as it is a key theme in our film. However we decided to change the second part slightly to foreshadow our characters death.

Original lyrics:

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,

Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.

Row row row your boat

If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream

OUR LYRICS

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,
Don't forget to watch your back, no one will hear you scream.

Our song is sung by Emma Bradshaw and was edited by myself and Emma Bradshaw
