Thinking about sound for our opening.-Elijah

Thinking about sound for our opening.

We have made a plan for what is going to be and have thought about how we are going to present that to the audience visually and we have now decided to look in depth about how we can use sound to clearly display the atmosphere of the opening. We have to think about the score and sound effects we are going to use in the opening to really strongly address the genre of opening. As importantly we must careful think about all of the foley sound needed for the opening to suspend disbelief of the audience and keep them engaged with the narrative that we are going to establish.

As a group we are looking to add a score that it's intense which will crescendo throughout the opening growing in volume and pace this will create tension and create a dark scary tone for the opening and will complement the narrative of the opening with the tension growing as the psychopath killer following his next victim. During the score we want the audience to feel the tension of the piece and suspect the impending doom of the girl that walks down the street. 

We also want to build tension with the foley sound that we are planning on using in opening with the combination of this sounds as the scene goes on we also want to make sure these sounds grow louder as the opening goes on. We don't want to use a large amount of music within the opening as the silence of the opening will add tension to it and an overload of sound wouldn't sound professional. 

Non-diegetic	Diegetic
The sound of a heart beating.	The sound of the keyboard typing and the clicks of the mouse and the computer running whilst in the man’s room.
Tense slow,high pitched music to build up tension.	The sound of the clock ticking whilst in the man’s room.
Impact noises/sound effects when titles enter.	The closing of the door when the man is leaving his room to the party.
	The sound of the man breathing when the man is following the girl.
	Muffled sound of music and talking from the party when we cut from the man’s room to the outside of the house where the party is being made.
	The footsteps of the man and girl when the girl is being followed.
	Background sound of the street when the girl and man is on the street.
	The sharpening of his knife within the man’s bedroom.

Our foley sounds which we are planning on using are the sound of the keyboard and the scrolling and clicking of the mouse and all other sounds that are within the scene. Foley sounds are going to be vital in our opening as they will be the majority of the sound in the opening as music and sound effects are harder to generate and we are planning on creating a stillness and silence within the opening to create tension. 

The sound effects which we are planning on using are some impact sound when a title enters the opening to heighten the movement and transition of the titles within the opening

The type of score we are planning on using is a score that is high pitched to give the audience a chill and set a scary atmosphere. We are not planning to use a lot of music during our opening just a low playing piece that will give a sense of stillness and give creepy feeling towards the audience.
