Sound In Film

 Sound planning:

Ok so i will be doing the planning of the sound in both the editing aspect and the filming right now so i have it set up for filming. For sound i will be using music, foley sounds, and ambient sounds in the opening so it helps with the tension and suspense that is to be shown. So for the foley sounds i will be using different items to show different things. I know for a fact that when i get to the scene of the character outside making a phone call i will be using lots of silence to create suspense. The silence can be a powerful tool for creating tension in the viewer. 

According to a couple videos i watched "use silence before a sudden action", So thats what i will be doing. Before the antagonist attacks the teenager i will have no noise going on at all. The teenager will hang up the phone and begin texting someone on his phone. As he is texting  nothing will be heard except the noise which is made as you send messages on messages. There will be slight chatter being played in the background which will be coming from inside the house. But what i will do is kind of zoom it out and make it just be a slight noise that is being heard not anything too loud. 

For the music part of the sound i will be using it also to create the tension with the audience. As the tension builds in the scene i will be adding some music. The music will start off as low, background noise and it will gradually increase over the scene until the antagonist appears and kills the character. Hopefully the music creates a sense of danger and scares the viewer, adding on to the suspense I need to show in the opening.  The next post will be on the newspaper i create for the mise-en-scene throught the scene.
