Sound Effects in Filming

Breathing Sound Effect:

For our film, we used a soundtrack to cover the whole film, however, we feel that there wasn't enough sound effects to really make our audience feel on edge and be part of all the action. One sound effect we added in was breathing at the end of the film when the title of our film comes onto the screen. We found a non-copyrighted sound clip of a women breathing in a scary manor. This links to our film, as when the protagonist becomes suffocated, we can hear her breathing there, so we wanted to incorporated the breathing at the end, to show a direct link of the assault in our film. It also adds a mysterious effect to the film, as it shows that Tara is still alive, this creates the dramatic climax, as to why she was killed in the first place. I feel that using the breathing sound effect was really effective.

Bang Sound Effect:

We felt that the soundtrack didn't have enough shocking and dramatic sound effects to it. So we added in extra sound effects. We want to make our audience feel on edge, and be scared/shocked as this is a common convention used in thriller films. It was also easier adding in the extra effect, as we could adjust the sound levels on Adobe, and even copy and paste the same sound effects to different parts in our film. This made it easier and more understandable. Having shock outbursts of "bang/boom" sound effects will make our audience be shocked and this is one of the factors that we feel is one of the most important in our film.

Voice Mail Sound Effect:

We also added in a voice mail sound effect to our film. This enhances the idea of technology being in our film ( the phone.) The voice mail is effective, as it is the sound that your phone makes when no one has picked up or answered. This makes the audience question why Tara hasn't answered the phone, in which the audience later realise, that she has been attacked. Most films use gadgets and phones in thrillers, so using the voice mail effect enhances the idea of technology and also increases the dramatic climax.
