Edited Audio for Thriller

(For original song see post titled 'Music for Thriller Opening' or go to https://youtu.be/Jl8fV1jUQPs)

For my thriller film, the audio has been edited in after filming to be in sync with the visual effects. As soon as the audio starts there is a combination of diegetic (the match lighting) and non-diegetic sounds. The music has been layered over itself, and shortened compared to the original, to make the piano echo and dominant, this is done until the singing commences. At 35 seconds, the tone changes and more instruments are introduced, here a part of the song has been edited as the lyrics weren't as important and so there would be a change to the rhythm, to demonstrate the change in the antagonists personality as she becomes more unstable.

At 48 seconds there is a sting to emphasise the shrine and another part has been eliminated from the original soundtrack. As the thriller music continues to the part where it says "your love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love", a large part has been cut out from the original audio as there needed to be a build up. This was done by cutting out the audio from 1.20s to 2.28s of the original so that the words could link up; part of it was also layered for a smooth transition.
If listened from 1.18s on my thriller audio, it is clear that the voices have been layered out of sync to create the echoes when the word crazy is said, linking in with voices in someone's head and mental unstableness. The layered audio then stops at 1.41s and fades out at the end to imply that something bad is now going to happen.
For this audio I did the editing on Final Cut Pro X so that I could sync it accordingly with the footage.
