The Script.

 There is no conversation between our characters in the opening scene, so there is not a script as such, however, the only speech within the clip is the little girl whispering the nursery rhyme 'if you go down to the woods today'. This gives another sense on innocence and creates confusion as to why she is hurting people. The whispering sound is soft yet very creepy and is capable of giving the audience shivers. These kind of reactions are what we want from our audience.


Although there is no speech, there is continuous music through out our opening scene. The music was written by our friend studying music studio technology at university (Mat Tuora), we asked for certain sounds and to have an eerie version of the tune of 'if you go down to the woods today' in the background. We found this very successful and fitted well with what we as a group wanted and with the film. The sounds within the piece of music are extremely creepy and make the audience feel uneasy. There are high pitched noises and screeches within the music.

Because the tune we used within the music was not written by us, we had to consider copyright (Copyright is the exclusive right granted to the author of an original work) as the music music as it had been composed by somebody else. So i researched into this and found out that the tune we are using in the background 'Teddy bears picnic' is part of the public domain,  means the piece of music is openly available to everyone and not subject to copyright protection. Many other children's nursery rhymes are part of this. Usually people who wish to use their work will have to give the request to the publisher of the piece unless the the copyright owner is someone close to you whom you know. But as i found out that this piece of music is in the public domain, it was not necessary to do so and we could use it in our work.
