Initial idea’s for sound
As our idea develops and grows, the group has started to discuss how we are going to use sound to add to our short film. As our film is a psychological thriller we understand that our music and sound must stick to the conventions of other short films similar to ours, as we do not want to confuse our audience. This is why we have decided not to go for the creepy contrapuntal soundtrack that plays happy music whilst someone is being drugged as we do not want to confuse our audience and we want to keep a serious tone throughout. Although we have not chosen a specific soundtrack yet we have decided that the music will be a slow, chilling track that will quietly influence the audience into uncertainty. As well as this we have chosen to use silences, where not even diegetic sound will be heard as we believe this brings an eerie un-realisation to the story. There is a scene where we get a low angle point of view shot from the girl lying on the floor looking at the psycho walking towards her, whilst this is happening we will have the pleonastic sound of the man’s footsteps walking towards her and then fading out as her eyes close and the camera fades to black. A non-diegetic soundtrack will then start up as we see the boot of the car being closed with the camera left inside facing out to represent the girl being trapped inside. The soundtrack will then run until the our psycho appears again in the same corner where we first saw him, he will be looking down cutting up another photo, where he’ll say one line of dialogue which will end the film. The credits will then appear and the same non-diegetic soundtrack will start up again.
