SOUND EFFECTS
One of our initial idea's that we had was to include sound tracks/effects of young children singing. The reason for this idea was firstly because of the age of the young girl in our film... through using these sound affects, it would be somewhat relatable to her. However, the idea also came about as it is quite an eerie sound and if it were to be non-diegetic - a sound where we can't see whats producing it - then it would create more tension as you stereo-typically wouldn't expect to see a young child or hear a young child in the situations that occur in horror films. This would potentially engage the audience more as said, it is quite an unexpected sound. The first idea was to use a child singing a childish song as shown in the video link on the left. This song is known to be sung by children at a young age, and gives the representation of quite an innocent child, thus using this would be quite frightening and to use it in a horror scene, situation it would be much more daunting for the audience.
In our trailer, there will be a stage where the young girl screams and to get the most effective and frightening scream... we have decided to use a non-diegetic sound as it is more difficult for the young girl acting in our trailer to do it. The two links above are relatively similar and are just short clips of a girls scream. We will ensure that the clip we end up using is not copyrighted, and will then convert it into an mp3 document, and then upload onto our trailer; this can be easily done on the Adobe Software that we are using, which will allow us to adjust and move around the sound into the specific place where we want it.
These next two links are sound effects of a creaking door; this is a sound that is quite difficult to capture on the camera as it doesn't tend to be as loud as we particularly want it. Despite the sound being high quality on the camera, it is only really for clear, reasonably pitched sounds. Alike the scream sound affect, we will make our final decision as to what we will use and will use the tools on our software to cut and adjust the sound to make it fit perfectly with the action being made.
