Planning: Sound


Sound is important in films because different sounds and noises create different emotions for the character and the audience. I believe it is important to think about the sound, especially in thriller films because the different sounds create high tension for the audience members.

Some conventional uses of sound in thrillers are wild life. For example during the night hearing an owl and a bat making the chacter starring in the thriller film scared which makes the aduience feel worried about them.Another use of sound which is conventional to a thriller is a creaking door which suggests that the location has been deserted for a long time and therefore anything can be held inside.

During The opening credits I used non-diegetic sound to create mystery amongst the audience and make them uncomfortable. Another use of non-diegetic sound that I created was during the ending scene where the antagonist is torturing the victim and when the pictures of the next targets were being posted. During this scene the use of diegetic sound was also used as the antagonist was laughing whilst the victim was screaming and making noises as he was scared of what the antagonist was about to do to him.

For our first scene we're going to have characters laughing as they introduce themselves on by one.This gives the audience a clear understanding of the relationships between the characters and who everyone is friends with within the group.

For the next scene we're going to have heavy breathing coming out of one of the characters ( antagonist ) as hes late to the filming and therefore the stops for a bit to catch his breath. This automatically makes the audience feel worried and get a bad feeling for that character.

Moreover, As the 'antagonist' scares the couple the female in the group will scream to show that she got scared of the figure behind her. This, similarly makes the audience want to know more about this character as they get a mysterious feeling about him.

In addition, the sound of crushing twigs and leafs will be shown when the group of friends start walking to find a better location to film the thriller. This creates tension for the audience members and makes them feel uncomfortable.

  1. More evidence of planning your use of micro-elements within your thriller.

    To improve;
    Where you mention what sound you will be using, state the correct terminology, for example diegtic, parallel etc.
