Research into sound: Music

• Although this was only important in the post-production section of our thriller, we decided to start looking towards different sound effects and music as support to the action. We began searching into royalty free tension music and explored what came up. 
• We were looking for something that will build up tension as well as keeping the action alive. We wanted a climax at the end to leave the audience on the edge of their seats at the cliffhanger. 
• However we found this extremely difficult as we could not find any particular piece what we want, it was also very difficult to find music that is copyright/royalty free.
• When searching for music, I learnt that the music has to completely fit the theme and style of the footage, otherwise it could potentially ruin the whole atmosphere and effectiveness of the sequence.
• We decided to leave that for when we get round to it. And considered perhaps asking someone to compose our own music for us.

I found this particular website was very useful when trying to find a piece:  http://www.beatsuite.com/music/category/tension-and-suspense/377
