Evaluation

Use of Sound in Our Film

As a team we conducted an experiment where we watched Alfred Hitchcocks 1960 horror classic 'Psyco' where we watching the famous shower scene with and without sound. thsi allowed us to see the importance of sound and how diagetic and non diagetic is used for differant things. For example the diagetic scream added more realism and make the audience sympathise and feel fear for her whereas the build up non diagectic sound created heavy suspence as it hightened in pitch as the killer drew near. Bearing this in mind allowed us to be more experimental with our sound...

Voice Over
We added a voice over at the start of our film to add a an omnisient narrator to the story early on. We opted for a male voice because we felt it would sound more serious, for effect we deepened the voice at the end of the film to add a tension on whats going to happen.


Backing Track
We produced our track in the programme Garage band due to copyright. We composed the track so it was calm at the start with a piano instrumental that changes into more of heavy bassline remix when the screenplay includs more action and the cuts get faster to add pace.

Summary

Analysis of our Opening Scenes

This is our first scene and overall we wanted to make the audience feel that it is just an ordinary day, we also used the generic film noir convention of femme fatale with the costume. The theme of black in our female protagonists clothes add mystery and will leave the audience questioning who is she? what's in the letter?


We used a split screen to create the impression that there are multiple threats being delivered and the mid shot also establishs early on to the viewer the motif of letters we are using throughout the film.


We used this shot of a closed eye that then opens to show a drastic change in tone after the calm 'letter scene' to show bring in the sinister mafia element of the film. The extreme close up will add intimacy to the scene.
