Random House ordered book trailers for their Vintage books from Kingston Illustration and Animation students. 
Our characters are faceless, so they have no facial expressions. 
It is because in our point of view what is important is not the people but their behaviour and their actions.
All these characters can be found and be connected with the persons in the book.
To create the mood we want, we used multiple layers of sounds along with the atmosphere background music. 
We found sounds from the freesound.org and used Premier to assemble together.
The key sounds we used are clocks, wind Chimes, and heartbeats. One special point of our sound is that, its not just creepy and nice, it has a secret effect. Considering not everyone will use speaker when watching the film, We put two different heartbeat in two different speed and volume. The low volumed heartbeat is hard to hear on speaker. But if you listen with headphone or earphones, you will hear slow,quite and heavy vibe of heartbeat which will add more depth to the sound.
