I have created a SoundCloud Playlist with all 13 tracks (11 listed above) and also 2 which we considered as using as the main music before we found Intimidation, these are called Sardonicus and Insidious and were both downloaded from Purple-Planet.  



We decided against Sardonicus as we felt it was too scary and too breaking of the Film Noir conventions. We also thought it didn't fit with the images shown and had a too disturbing feel when played. We were keen on Insidious for a long period of time but once we'd found Intimidation we felt that worked better and was easier to manipulate around the footage to make it feel scary. 

The main parts of the backing music are Better Days and Intimidation mixed with House on the Hill. Better Days is from a website called BenSound. This is a copyright free website where you can search for ambient backing music by genre. Better Days is a calm piece of music with an occasional jazzy twang. This is the most Film Noir conventional piece of music we have in our project. Most of our scary music, that plays after the ident, is promotionally Intimidation, Thunder Rolls, Drones and House on the Hill. These create an up tempo, low pitched beat for it to be easier for the viewer to watch. We foley-ed a clank from when the pencil sharper blade moves, the light switch click, the door closing, and a finger click. We did also record these noises at the time of shooting the footage but they seemed muffled and unclear to we re-filmed them using a Marantz audio recorder whilst also recording Harry doing a voice over and letting the story unfold of what Harry will do in this film. a Marantz audio recorder is a good thing to use as the sound comes out clearly and they are also easy to use. 

Chloe wrote the script for the voice over, it says: 
I never thought I would have the bottle to commit murder, and take a vindictive, sly, suductive, women from this Earth but she betrayed me and I needed justice. So now I am left with all traces of her, that drill holes through my mind, traces I have to get rid of before I kill another. This time with no consequences. My future is nothing but a blank page.
