It begins with the howling of the wind and continues to layer the music over the length of the trailer, through percussion instruments and the voice of a child reading a poem based on the film\u2019s story. The use of this technique adds to this psychological feeling of horror; whilst taking us out of our comfort zone, as if we were to expect a fright.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly to this trailer, I aim to continue with the theme of layering sound in order to create an intense and haunting piece. I will also use the output of my headphones to control the sound I create and magnify its impact on the listener; again, taking them out of their comfort zone and encouraging them to question the sounds that they hear.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watkins, J.
