As part of our research into sound for our thriller production we listened to an opening soundtrack of a thriller and noted how it made us feel. The process of synesthesia is when sound educes an emotion, the aim for us is to give our audience the authentic feeling as if they could put themselves in the characters positions. Individually we created a ‘Word It Out’ on the picture is a list of words which could be associated with my thriller, this is useful as it help to visualise what sound could be implemented without actually hearing it.

Soundtrack we used:

My Word It Out:

The sounds we may use for our thriller:

‘Dark texture’: Could be used for background noise to fill in gaps when walking.

‘No answer pensive drone’: Maybe be used before a suspense build up.

‘Percussive drums dystopia’: Drums could be used to emphasise a point in the thriller.

‘Sinister string FX drone’: Should be used when suspense in the thriller needs to be high and the audience are at the edge of their seat.

‘Tension build up to disturbing pulse’: Used to create an eerie atmosphere and set the scene.

‘Where Am I’: Could be used where white noise gaps need to be filled or when walking inside the fort.

 

Both Diegetic and Non – Diegetic sounds are crucial in a films success this is because it adds a whole new layer to the otherwise lack luster video parts. Integrating soundtracks as well as sound non-diegetic sound effects can make the audience relate and empathise with story in a more profound way.
