Brainstorm - Sound

I decided to do some researching into typically associated sound effects with Horror. I created a list with my interpretation of what we might be able to use in our Opening Sequence, where and why... (these would then be searched for as a pre-recorded clip in garage band) My aim of using these sounds would be to give the audience obvious signifiers of when something scary is going to occur but also to modernise it.

  • Police sirens - end of sequence after scream, cannot see police cars can just hear then so would be a off-screen sound
  • Instrumental clips, sci fi sounding, creepy, eerie - when shadow walks past bathroom door
  • Panicking clip - when 'Abbie' runs down the drive in a hurry looking for keys (creates an uncomfortable effect)
  • Increasing heart rate/beat - feel connected to the character, when speaks to 'George' for second time and realises he is not in the house
  • Deep heavy reathing - creates a sense of feeling as though your being watched
  • (as silly as it sounds) the silence of the night - wind being the only thing you can hear is a scary thought, completely isolated and alone
  • Footsteps - when being followed, could be Abbie or the stranger
