Sound Design

Sound is a very important part of all films as it engages the audience and heightens their experience. I will use a range of diegetic sounds to build up tension and allow the title sequence to have a realistic feel to it, such as the sound of running feet and loud breathing. I will also use non diegetic sounds such as mysterious, slow music to set the mood and atmosphere, creating a tranquil yet nervous tone. By layering all this sounds up together it will compliment one another and create a dark mood.

Here are a few examples of sounds (non copyrights) that we would include in our title sequence:

1.




This slow dark instrumental music builds up tension and suspense as it gets faster and fits into our film well as it creates that dark moody atmosphere that were trying to.  The slow build up will compliment as the title sequence gets deeper and people find out more of the story. 

2.
       

We would use this camera shutting sound effect as it would create a realistic tone, engaging the audience.

3.



Background noise is essential in a film, even though the audience may not even notice it but it necessary for some noise to be heard.  Especially if it is filmed in a busy location as it is never silent outside so without it would just look out of place.


4.


The low drone sound is very effective in the background layered on top of all the other sounds and music. 

5.

As effective as sound may be, SILENCE and no sound is also very effective and can used.

This title sequence from Red lights is what gave me inspiration for our soundtrack for our title sequence. The music gradually builds up creating the exact eerie mood we want to create.
