Music

For my soundtrack I have created 2 pieces of music, 1 for the flashbacks and 1 for when the man is following the boys down the road. I created both pieces of music using Garageband.
For the flashback piece, I used a solo piano at the start and then I had a guitar overlapping it a few seconds into the film. I did this because the piano at the start is over the man and the woman standing together hand-in-hand and the guitar comes in when she steps out into the road and the car appears. The addition of the second instrument creates tension amongst the audience and signals to them that something is about to happen. I used this piece for the second flashback as well so that it is clear to the audience that it is also a flashback.
For the second piece of music I used 2 different stringed instruments. This piece is only used for the man following the boys so when the camera cuts from in-front to behind, it goes from the boys talking with no non-diegetic music to non-diegetic music. This builds up the tension of the scene and gives a pace to the film. Also, it emphasises that the boys aren't aware of the fact that they are being followed, therefore increasing tension amongst the audience as they know that something is about to happen which the boys aren't aware of.
