in the next one there is music, environmental sounds, footsteps recorded using a sampler, voiceovers and foley for when his ear hits the thing. They use bell sounds and objects falling for the dog food.

Unit 4 review
The Conjuring
I used some creepy synths at the beginning. I used a creepy horror clip.
I used cinema strings
I used a xylo too
I used some recordings of my voice to record the flash on the camera.
This worked well.
The instruments work well together and the ideas change as the clip goes through.
What I could do better is to create more atmosphere with more synths and other things.
If I was to do it again I would do more mixing down and automate the volume to make it creepy.
