How I created the music/noises used in our piece.

The programme that I used to create the sound on our project, other than the sound captured by the video camera, was Reason.
The programme features an extensive selection of sample instruments I was available to use, and also a selection of extra features that allowed me to manipulate the sound of the instruments.
To create the music I spent a period of time browsing through the samplers, and finding different instruments that I thought could sound good accompanying what we had already filmed. Once I had found the instrument I felt mirrored the theme and mood we wanted our thriller to convey, I opened it in the sequencer window, where I was able to preview different notes using an integrated piano that scrolled the side of the sequencer. When I found notes I liked, I drew them in the sequencer in a sequence, stretching them out at different lengths for a disjointed and erratic effect.
