Finding out that music in the opening sequence had to be copyright free was a real hindrance. We had loads of ideas for song choices including, 'For Blue skies' by Strays Don't Sleep, 'Broken' by Lifehouse, and 'Unstoppable' by The Calling. However as this is not possible we decided to take what we like from these songs and recreate it using copyright free music and sounds.

We wanted the sound of a clock ticking playing continuously throughout the piece - a sound like this is present in the song 'For Blue Skies.' The clock is to symbolise how time is of the essence for both Abby and her Mum. Hopefully we can get a clock sound off of free sounds.org.

To add to the tone of the film we hope we can find some melancholy sounding music to play also throughout the piece. This should enhance the chilling atmosphere of the film and really make the audience pay attention to what is happening on screen.

We intend to play the sound of the trains which will act as synchronous sound as it should match up with the images on screens. Adding to the feeling of urgency of the events going on so that it feels like a realistic portrayal of an event that happened rather than an event played back with the addition of a melancholy soundtrack.

The voice over conversation between Abby and her Mum is undoubtedly the most important sound that will be played throughout the piece. An example of the conversation can be heard on the animated storyboard. The actual conversation will be constructed much better than this one as we should have a better microphone and telephone sound effects e.g. dial tone, at our disposal. Additionally for the sake of the piece the part of Abby should probably not be read by me, therefore guaranteeing a better chance of it sounding authentic!
