Soundtrack and Script

Over the last two lessons I have learnt how scripts are written and structured. Also how to apply a suitable soundtrack to a script. I created a script from two film opening sequences, which was Halloween and Dawn of the Dead. I know that a script does not have to have much dialogue or action, most are very slow paced and open the story for the audience. I then found a soundtrack to go with the script, which was A Nightmare on Elm Street:

I chose to use this soundtrack, because it gives the creepy atmosphere that suited the script I had created. The music was slow, just like my scenes of the killer slowly approaching his victims. The soundtrack sounds quite supernatural, which works with my script because I wanted the killer to be seen as something supernatural, such as a zombie. Elmstreet's soundtrack clearly shows the horror genre without being to fast paced and dramatic for an opening sequence.

This knowledge I have learnt for script writing and soundtracks will help me to create my own opening sequence.
