Because the our original music may not be long enough to last the whole of our sequence as intended, I have created a short piece that could be used in the torture scene if our first choice does not last for the required length of time. The song was created using Acoustica Mixcraft.
The song begins with light static and a rumbling noise. These sounds represent the victims disorientation and confusion. They may be played whilst no images are showing to truly show the victims perspective, as he cannot see due to the bag over his head. A heartbeat then begins, which gradually grows louder over the course of the song. I had originally planned the heartbeat to be representative of the victims, but I could not find a loop that gradually sped up which still sounded like a human heartbeat. Therefore the heartbeat is more representative of the killers - the steady beat represents his control of the situation, and his lack of fear. The heartbeat also adds to the atmosphere of the scene - the heart is integral to human survival, and when it stops beating we die. Therefore hearing the heart beat so loudly suggests that somebody's heart will stop beating soon, and this creates tension. The main sound within the composition is the eerie noise present throughout the middle of the song. This again adds to the atmosphere, and helps create a sense of fear within the viewer. I have let the heartbeat go on for a long time after the other aspects of the song fade out as it can easily be stopped at any point, whilst allowing time for the title shot to appear if necessary.
Below is a screenshot of Mixcraft showing the construction of the song, and the various loops that were used.
