The music in question we used is called The Isle of the Dead but Sergei Rachmaninov. As is obvious from the name this is quite appropriate for the opening sequence as it was written as an interpretation of an individuals journey to "The Isle of the Dead", this is fitting in the opening sequence as it depicts the disappearance of a character. The song itself starts quite quiet and sombre slowing increasing in energy but remaining quite unsettling and builds suspense throughout the opening. We sourced it from an article we found online written about sombre and "spooky" classical music pieces, classical music is often used in horror films as it feels more atmospheric and can create more vivid atmospheres. The piece was produced in 1908 and so as a result is free from copyright which ensures we can use it, this was another reason for the use of classical music as earlier than 50 years ago it is the predominant genre of music produced and is therefore less likely to have been copyrighted.
We sourced this piece of music from youtube:
