Planning Sound-MissMiller
Sound is important within any film genre. Sound is crucial within the thriller genre as it enhances the suspense and tension within the film also it gets the audience more involved and interested within the film and we aim to use sound to our advantage to make our sequence more intense and suspenseful throughout the duration of the film.
The sound of the phone ringing will be very important within our sequence as it creates the final piece of drama in our sequences do this is also classed as diegetic sound and this fits in with our narrative. The ringing phone will be very effective as it creates a sense of surprise as the audience will not know what has happened to the victim. This will have a dramatic effect on the audience as they will be in a state of shock at the end of the thriller sequence also the ring of the phone is conventional to the thriller genre as it creates suspense as well as other codes and conventions as the audience can tell the victim was killed at the end on the sequence
Another sound effect that will be used within our groups sequence is a quick paced sound track this is non diegetic and is added within the editing stage and the sound track will create excitement and suspense within the viewers watching the sequence also a sound track that is suspenseful allows the audience to give back a response of shock or an emotional response.
The use of on screen sound is influenced within our thriller sequence throughout the film for example the footprints of both characters when walking through the forest on the stones as well as the concrete on the alley way scene and the camera is very likely to pick these things up also it is very realistic as it would happen in any film that is created and the audience would expect the on screen sound to fit in the situation.
To summerise the sound that is going to be used in our groups thriller sequence
The non-diegetic sound of both the heart beat and the heavy breathing of the victim and the sound of these puts a more dramatic effect on the audience to put across the characters emotions as it will display a petrified effect to the audience as you can clearly see the facial expression on the victim's face. This can connect to the audience because if they were in that situation they would be displaying the same emotions as the character with the quick heart beat and the heavy breathing.

You have provided a basic recount of some of the sound techniques you plan on using within your sequence; however you have not explained in depth how and why they create certain reactions/emotions.
ReplyDeleteTo improve your post you need to:
1) Explain how and why you think certain sounds used will create certain reactions/emotions within the audience
2) Explain how and why the audience will be able to build relationships with the characters/relate to the situation better through the use of sound
3) Analyse one different sound technique (paragraphs 2 and 4 are same technique)
4) Include a summary explaining how and why you think the use of these sounds will help you produce a better sequence and how it makes it more conventional in turn
5) Read through and check clarity of work/spelling etc.
You need to analyse at least two more sound techniques and look over my points above
