Sound Development

All the sound we are using in our thriller opening sequence is non-diegetic as I think it will sound a lot better if we were to add it in during editing so that there isn't any wind or unwanted sound in the sound that we want, we are also adding the sound in after to make it seem more like a dream because we thought that it wouldn't build as much tension if there was dialogue in the dream, additionally the sound is synchronous sound as it fits into the genre of a thriller as it dramatic, mysterious and helps to build tension.

After the feedback from our vox pop we have decided to use a sound track as well as effects because most of the people in the vox pop said that they prefer soundtracks because they help build tension if they go with what is happening in the scene. There will be sound effects of heavy breathing which will increase the pace near the end of the sound track as the murder flashbacks come to an end and we reach the climax. Furthermore it will show how the character is scared and panicking in their sleep which will create a tense atmosphere for the audience because they may start to breath just like the character. This will counter act with the increasing heart rate to show the pace and fear from the character. Therefore both the effects will build up to a peek which is the end of the murder and the character waking up in a panic, while it then cuts to a title to signal the audience that the movie is going to begin and that it is the end of the opening sequence. 

The sound track will start of slow to show the mystery and the curiosity from the victim and build as the drama and action adds in and to create a calm atmosphere for the audience as they are introduced to the setting and characters. The track will contently build as the flash backs in the dream occur to reflect the chaos and confusion in the opening. Near the end where the sound track starts to end we will mix the sound of the track and the heavy breaking and then the heavy breathing and the increasing heart rate.
