Use of Sound Within Our Thriller Film
These are the some of the key sound effects/ soundtracks that we will be using within our film along with the reasons why:
Heartbeat- We decided to use the sound of a heartbeat during the scene in which Adam has been kidnapped and wakes up being drip fed poison in the boot of a car as we felt the pounding sound of a heart was extremely effective at emphasising to the audience that Adams life is on the line and therefore increasing the suspense created within the film.
Non diegetic dialogue- We also decided to implement a reading of the letter that Adam finds on the floor just before he is kidnapped, which will be read over the film from when he wakes up until the climax of the chase scene within the warehouse. This is going to be an effective piece of dialogue as it will give the audience most of the backbone of the plot whilst ensuring there is enough ambiguity to leave them asking questions of both the antagonists and protagonists past events. We also wanted to make the sound of the reading gradually become more aggressive and sinister just so the tension rapidly increases and so the antagonists anger and brutality can be portrayed to the audience with more ease.
We have also decided to keep in a lot of background noise that was picked up within the factory during the chase scene as the sound of footsteps on the floor and factory machines going on in the background won't interfere with the plot as whilst they are not only very quiet there is minimal direct dialogue in this scene anyway so the background noise will not detrimentally effect the sound quality of our film.
Chase scene soundtrack- For the chase scene soundtrack we have managed to secure a copyright free piece of suspense building music with a slightly dark and sinister tone which will work as parallel sound to combine with the dark and ruthless character who is hunting Adam in the warehouse known as Vincent.
Sonically exaggerated sounds- We are also using some sonically enhanced sound effects, most notably to show the aggression of Vincent when the factory door nearly shuts him out and to make the gun shot at the end of the film feel even more realistic for the audience and emphasise the power that the single gun shot has.
