Music Box.


  • For part of the sound we recorded a music box playing. It was a traditional music box which played a child like tune. This helped our trailer conform to the stereotype that child like music is played to make something become creepier. There were two music box sounds we could have chosen, the first being the pink one which is being used in the teaser trailer as it is more girly.
  • For the second music box we recorded the sound as it was a better lullaby which was more appropriate to use in our trailer.
  • At first we recorded almost 30 seconds of the music, however we only needed to use around 5 seconds so we split the sound clip until we had just the right amount and it began and finished at an appropriate point. 
  • We decided to place the sound of the music box playing as the production company was fading out, so we started the tune quietly and increased the volume as different clips started playing.


    Reversed music box.
  • Half way through we added a synthesised drum beat which was played alongside the opening credits 'It's all fun and games' when this is played we reversed the music box sound so that it became scarier, we also increased the volume so that it built up suspense for what was coming.

Winder on the music box.



  • For part of our sound within our trailer we decided to record the music box being wound up. With this sound we placed it at the beginning of our trailer when the production company 'Twisted Pictures' was being played. To make the winding sound more repetitive we split the whole clip until we only had a small sound clip, and copied and paste it next to each other so the same sound was repeated.
  • Once we had our initial sound we were able to experiment with the placement of the sound. As our production company was 'Twisted Pictures' we placed the winding alongside when the wire wound round the screw.
  • We then changed the pitch and volume of each clip so that at the beginning the sound slowly fades in and slowly increases the volume so it builds up the suspense of what is going to happen after the production company.

Editing Music Box tune.



  • Once we had recorded our two lullaby's, and the sound of the boxes being wound up we started experimenting with the sound.
  •  We decided that at the beginning of the trailer to have the winding up of the music box.
  •  We used the same twisting sound and repeated it  to go alongside the opening company credits 'Twisted Pictures' we manipulated the twisting so that as the on screen image twisted the sound also 'twisted'
