Sound Effects 

These are Some sound effects I have researched and analysed for inspiration in our sound ideas for our final product. We think that we only want sound/music in the scenes that include the shots of the bathroom as we want to use silence in the bath scenes, to add and build tension.



This clip shows some horror style sound effects, some of which could be very effective in our piece. I like the idea of having a high note pitch bend or repeated high notes, making a fast and very otherworldly noises. I also like the increase in volume as it adds tension as to what will happen next. the sudden and unexpected percussion noises are also very effective in jump scaring the audience, however this may not be the style we are looking for. I like the repeated beeps as if time is running out, through a clock or a bomb timer, adding tension as to when the beeps with stop or when the bomb will explode. The panning of the slashing noises also makes the audience feel as if they are in the scene, adding tension, this is effective along with the panned and enhanced creaks, giving the sense of a scream. I think a build up of most of these sounds with distortion and desaturation in the pictures will give a very effective opening. Also I believe the most simple sounds can be the most effective, especially juxtaposed with the silence of the bath.



This music is very effective as it has an aeolian key and therefore add mystery and suspense because you are not sure of the music and therefore of the action. this music is punctuated with percussion that acts as an almost heartbeat. this is effective because it places the reader into the scene. the clicks are also fast and repeated giving a sense of fast pace action and helps to build suspense, at when they will stop. the moment when these clicks and drum hits speed up, implies a cliff hanger or an ending that is very big and leaves the audience wanting more.
