Soundtrack research

 When experimenting with different soundtracks for our trailer we all agreed it would be a good idea to have a nursery rhyme sung over the top, not only would this help build tension but it would also help it to stick into peoples head. To begin with we researched different nursery rhymes but we had to be careful that they did not alter the genre and make our trailer childish and laughable. We also decided to get one of our group members to sing the nursery rhyme which we finally decided would be 'teddy bears picnic' the reason we chose this nursery rhyme is because it links to the forest/woods and is  a well known nursery rhyme. 

We also recorded 'Hannah' singing, whispering and humming the nursery rhyme to see which one would be most successful and link to a horror trail to make it as scary as possible. We decided to go with Hannah whispering the song  because it sounded the most eerie and it is hard to tell the age of Hannah meaning a child could be singing it, this allowed it to increase the tension because it subverts to the usual stereotype of children's innocence.
