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.
