Nursery Rhyme

For our trailer we think we might have a nursery rhyme played over the top of scary music. We think that this will be scary for the audience as it is linking children to frightening and unexpected events. This is very disturbing as children seem so innocent and naive which would be confusing for the audience.

We would have this nursery rhyme (below) sung by a small child in a slow quite voice. It would sound very eerie and echoed. We feel that this would be a lot more scary than this example below.

This idea was inspired by the trailer 'The Woman in Black' as the voice over of this is a child's voice. We thought this was perturbing and scary for the audience and also thought that the background music was very effective and we could create something similar for our trailer. This trailer is effective as children are meant to be a sign of purity and innocence so evil children seem all the more scary.

*UPDATE 

We have decided to change the nursery rhyme for our trailer as we think that 'Rock a by baby' is more suited to the story line of our film. We also think that this nursery rhyme would sound better with the music box as we can make them both sound eerie and sinister. We believe that these two aspects put together will create the tension and suspense best for our film trailer.
