Sound

For our thriller opening there is no dialogue, we would like to use a small variety of sounds to create tension and tone within our piece however, we would also like to use silence to create tension within the thriller.


we have decided for our thriller that we would find specific sounds to use which may not be produced well within shooting. For example we have considered using the sound of the a door opening and closing and the  crunching of footsteps on gavel.
For the beginning of the thriller opening we have considered using the sound 'Creepy door' found on the website Freesound. By using this sound directly edited into our footage it allows us to create more atmosphere before anything is shown on the screen.

Similarly to the film Alice Creed we have though about using an ambient sound effect to run throughout the opening of our thriller to build suspense. The sound 'Thriller Ambient' creates an eerie tone, though 'The Disappearance of Alice Creed's' tone is higher pitched and tempo the effect of having an on going sound which creates suspense with the intrusion of diegetic sound creates a sense of realism though sound within it is non-diegetic which I think is very effective.

Another idea which I have experimented with is using two sounds, one playing at the same time as another, layering. Using the ambient thriller noise above and the use of a classical piece over, creates a sinister effect. I have explored pieces by both Chopin and Beethoven which fit perfectly together with the other sound as different options.
