Final Music

After researching the lyrics and meanings behind the songs, we tried each song with the edited footage, and asked members of our class which they preferred. Out of the 14 people we asked, half preferred Massive Attack's 'Angel'.

The song itself is quite eerie, and successfully builds atmosphere. The repetitive lyrics 'you are my angel...her eyes, she's on the dark side...love you, love you, love you...' emphasise a fixation, similar to that which our stalker character would have. However, the original swells too often, and the volume of the lyrics take focus away from the steady beat, so we searched on youtube for a remix of the original to give a more contemporary feel and found the 'Blur' remix;

The slower tempo and repetitiveness of the lyrics creates an even eerier atmosphere, with the climax of tension towards the end with the piano cords.
I edited the orginal remix to make it shorter and remove the robotic voice spelling out ANGEL as we felt it ruined the atmosphere. After putting the new song in the film, all those asked agreed that it created the atmosphere needed for a successful thriller film.
