Considering Sound

As a group, we had to decide on music and sound for our final piece. The music had to fit in with our chosen genre (psychological thriller) and had to engage the audience while creating the desired atmosphere within the film opening.
We thought that a good idea would be to build up various sounds, overlapping them to create a group of different sounds to convey the genre.
For the opening of our film, we have used a montage so we would need to consider a big range of sounds to build up as the effect would be for the sound to overlap each other and suddenly cut out to create a tense atmosphere relating to the plot line of our film.
The sound we used would need to be royalty free in order to avoid copyright so we looked at a range of royalty free websites and found ‘incompetech’ which had a range of different sounds for specific genres which was appropriate for our film. We looked at the horror genre.







We decided to use Bump in the Night as our main piece of sound as we felt this would build up the atmosphere we were aiming for and convey the genre in the best possible way.
As we were creating a montage, we needed a build up of sound to create tension and so we decided to incorporate Slow Ticking Clock and Deep Noise within the piece to show a harsher atmosphere.
