Johnson Zhang, our music composer for Shut In, surprised us with this soundtrack on our screening day! (Looks damn cool rite! hehz!)
Okay, I’m just too lazy to type out how the music came about for Shut In, so here’s an exerpt from our final report:
Composing the music score for Shut In was another challenge due to the complex emotions portrayed by the characters in the story. To enable the music composer to better understand the feel and emotions of the characters and story, we had the composer on set during production to give him a head start to envision the right tune and melody and even before the rough cut; our music composer already had the main titles ready. It took two months, from conceptualisation to final scoring, and during which, the composer was inspired by a few music scores. The original score for Shut In was inspired from Danny Elfman’s Corpse Bride (2005) pitched percussion and vibraphones and Yann Tiersen’s piano-strings in Amelie (2001).
I was happy to hear that many who watched our film loved the music too! As an OST fan, that to me, is very re-assuring. Great movie soundtracks allows one to relive unforgettable scenes (and its emotions) and I hope that Shut In’s music would be no different for our audience. 
Here’s to Johnson! Thanks for your wonderful and unforgettable music.
