CONSTRUCTION: RECORDING THE NURSERY RHYME

We decided that to add an intresting and original element to our film opening, we would encourperate a nursery rhyme, sung by Georgina herself. We recorded it onto soundcloud and then copied it onto Imovie. As we have decided to call our film; "Hush Little Baby" we felt it fitting for her to sing the hush little baby nursery rhyme:


Hush, little baby, don't say a word


Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird

If that mockingbird won't sing
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring

If that diamond ring turns brass
Papa's going to buy you a looking glass

If that looking glass gets broke
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat

If that billy goat won't pull
Papa's going to buy you a cart and bull

If that cart and bull turn over
Papa's going to buy you a dog named Rover

If that dog named Rover won't bark
Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird

If that mockingbird won't sing
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring

So hush little baby, don't you cry
Your Mama loves you and so do I .

This song works well as it is long enough to be played over certain scenes, it also has the ability to sound quite menacing and chilling. The final verse also works well for us as it sounds as if it is actually the woman talking to the child she has taken.
