Sound

In the forest, the shot will just be of the girl running and occasionally looking back.  This part of the opening is very ambiguous as we think we are going to start the clip with her just running.  It is also quite tense but to keep it ambiguous we dont want to add over dramatic cliche scary music which builds, and for now we think just exaggerating the atmospheric sound will work with the scene. As it is just the atmospheric sound this will make her seem much more alone, and it will make the forest seem empty.   We've also seen in other films when someone is running, that to add itensity to the scene they over exaggerate the sound of the breathing, so we think it would be good to add foley sound of her panting and increase the volume as this would also make the audience feel as if they were there in the scene.



In the house, mimicking the forest we want a realistic feel and we think a gentle hum in the background which builds gently would fit well with the establishing shot of the girl in the eery creepy room.  We think the sound should be ver sensitive and the souds made by the girl, made very obvious.  For example the loudest noise will be he breaths and cryin, making it an intimate scene.  Other sounds will be the hum or gentle building music, and her moves exagerated as this will also sow how shes alone. Then we want the sound of the mans car pulling up to be heard, and there may be a downbeat then to signify shes scared




The opening of the film 'House at the end of the street' is a scene we will use as inspiration as it mimics the same sounds we wanted to include. 

Obviously this scene is very over dramatic and aims to be more a horror, it uses the wind to make it scarier and mainl uses atmospheric or foley sounds.  We want to do this to make it realistic. 


The downbeat idea we wanted when something dramatic happens in the scene, is shown in a dramatic scene in the film 'Taken'.  This really helped us with how to approach he dramatic moments, as in this scene, instead of the downbeat being simultaneous with height of the suspense, the downbeat is just before the girl is told she's going to be taken.  This allows her reaction of hysterically crying more noticeable, making it more effective and emotional.
