Sound research

'Shadow' belongs to the fantasy genre. Fantasy movies generally use very dramatic, low, dark background music in order to create and build tension.

We went through some of the music that www.freeplaymusic.com had to offer, eventually deciding on 'Abandoned', as it had the feel we were looking for.

Here are some clips of some songs we considered:

Abandoned - yes
