Daughter
We have chosen to use 'run' by the band Daughter (the first 34 seconds). As we feel the tone and pace appropriately captures the atmospheric mood to our thriller. we feel it sets the scene as the use of guitar comes across as mellow yet hauntingly eerie. it also matches the theme of normality to our opening as the segment we plan to use has been created by a basic acoustic guitar and nothing electronic or artificial. This reflects on the normality of our setting and location but creates a tense contrast because of the characters' situation. Then, half way through the opening we will use the first 13 seconds of the song 'love' (by Daughter). This song creates a really eerie and uncomfortable ringing noise that fades into a violent silence and fits perfectly with the scene where the dead girls hand appears. Nearing the end of our thriller opening we will insert the song 'landfill' (also by Daughter) as the drum beats really create tension and an aspect of the unknown.
Asking Alexandria
We have decided that Emily will do a piano medley cover to re-create the piano bridge from the song 'not the american average' by the band Asking Alexandria. We feel this piece suits our thriller opening when we show the couple fighting (but the dialogue will be cut out by the piano medley) as the chime of the piano keys hover in an echoey hollow-like silence.
