Music

We discovered a website, where you can download royalty free music, free of charge, called Jamendo.com: http://www.jamendo.com/en/.

We searched "soundtrack" and looked through some of the music on there to see which would suit our film the best. We decided on a piece by musician Daniel Catarino, on his album "O Rio e o Moleiro", called "Lia e o Moleiro". We thought this would be a very good track to use as the music builds up and is very menacing and represents the nature of the character within the house and foreshadows the death that is to come.



It then came to editing the music into our opening sequence. We used Adobe Premiere to change decrease the volume of the music at certain stages, for example, when there is dialogue. I also made the music audio rise at the end, when the title of the film, "Invite" appears, then crescendo to silence. This gives an eerie, lurking presence to the music.
