Chimes

In order to get the sound for the 3 clips I recorded one of my old Globes that play nursery rhymes when wound up and left to play. I recorded it on my phone and the quality came out really well and therefore I didn't need to re-record it again. I found that it was very creepy and also when edited it came out really well. I used the software called Audacity in order to change the effects on the music which is an online free piece of software. 

Backwards Melody

For the backwards melody I put the song into Audacity and the highlighted the entire piece of music and then picked a effect from the top tool bar that would put the song into reverse. I found the tool and then selected it before listening back to it. It turned out really well and the sound is really distorted without over editing it too much and losing the sounds quality and scariness. I therefore left it with just the reverse as the edit that I did to it and therefore this meant that the sound was constantly pulling itself backwards and it sounds really awkward to listen to back. 

Slow Melody

With the slow melody I chose the effect which changed the speed of the piece of music. I pulled the slider to the left and therefore this made the piece of music go much slower. I did like it however it lost the scariness through removing the fastness and therefore I wasn't so keen on how it sounded after listening to it. I didn't do anything else to it as I didn't want to carry on this piece of music as it is too slow for the opening in which we are doing. It also doesn't sound as menacing as the others and therefore I decided to leave it rather than make it even worse. 

Fast Melody

This is my favourite one because I really like how speeding up the clip has made it more mysterious and spooky rather than just a normal nursery rhyme which although is quite scary was fast paced enough for the opening which we are putting together. Therefore I really found that by just changing the speed alone made the music much more suitable for the opening and therefore made no other changes to it overall. I did try adding an echo but that made it too over crowded with noise and therefore abandoned that idea as it didn't work out. I also tried bass but as the pitch is too high this was pretty much useless and therefore left that idea. It is much more effective with the simple adding speed to it rather than over doing it with more effects than it actually needs.
