Use Of Sound

Trailer Music - In order to find a backing track for our film, my group listened to a variety of 'Royalty Free' sound tracks that fit our genre of Thriller. In the end, we come to a decision of using the 'Forsaken' trailer music track as it was the track that most fitted our genre and the feel of our film. The high pitched, almost lullaby gives a creepy solemn feeling, which is what we are going for in terms of how we want to make our audience feel. The length of the soundtrack is also convenient as it is 26 seconds longer than what we would need for the duration of our film to be, therefore if we want this soundtrack to play the whole way through our film, then we will be able to do so.

   

Dialogue - We have decided to change the dialogue which we wrote on our script as we think that the dialogue of narration over the top of the film will sound a lot better and create a more sadistic feel on our film. We have decided that Nicole (the main protagonist) will speak over the top of the film, and therefore narrate each scene that we have filmed, however she will be talking in the past tense, not the present which will  be seen on the film. The only diegetic piece of dialogue in this film will be when Nicole screams when she sees her friend Olivia tied to the tree.

Sound Effects - The only diegetic sound which will be in our film will be the sound effects of a variety of different things in order to make our film sound more realistic as there will be no actual dialogue in the film. We have decided to use heavy breathing in various places when Nicole will be running, and maybe even the sound of a heartbeat as this will make the film more tense. We will also use the rustling of leaves and other possible noises that would be conventional of noises from woods.
