Now that we had the shell of our film done, we moved on to adding the sound, Millie wasn't in so me and Rachel started editing the sound. We started by detaching some of the audio from our footage of wildlife (birds tweeting etc.) and putting over the bits that we filmed in the park. It was much better than just silence because it created a sense of 'calm before the storm' which added to the suspense.
We then added other sound effects which we found in Final Cut Pro such as a dripping tap and a knock on the door. We had to find the ones that fitted perfectly with the footage, so this involved us looking through quite a few different ones.
Once we had added these effects we decided that there was something missing, we decided that there needed to be some music in the house. We started looking for the right music but it was difficult to find music that fit in well, finally we found rights free classical music that started slowly and built up, we believed that this added to the tension of the opening.
After we added the music we realised that it didn't look quite right, we wanted to look like it was coming from a radio but we didn't have the right footage. We decided to film some extra footage at school, luckily I had the same red nail polish on that Lola had had on and we found a surface simular to that in the house. We added the footage and it fit perfectly with the other footage
