Planning Rape - Miss Miller

Planning Sound


Sound can be used in a thriller as an element to create emotion and tension within scenes as well as foreshadow situations. Sound is used widely across the genre to create tension and surprise the audience through a range of different techniques and sound types. Within each scene; sounds will be used to relate to the on-screen events, by matching the sound to the events it can create emotion that spreads throughout the audience. 
In our thriller film we will need to plan ahead to be able to know what sounds and effects will be needed in each scene in order for us to be able to create a maximum level of emotion for our ability, doing so this will give our thriller film a better feel and more realistic view when being watched. 


Diegetic sound will be used in my thriller clip. Diegetic is sound that happens on screen, an example of this the sound of leaves being crunched under a persons foot; the sound of this will be amplified and made more apparent via sound effects in order for the views to be able to understand the scene better. We will use Diegetic sound as it will allow me to make apparent specific areas of the clip.

Non-Diegetic sound is sound that takes place off scene, an example of this is a sound track. This is the main reason that Non-Diegetic sound will be used in my thriller clip, the sound track will be playing throughout the opening sequence as it helps to set the scene and confirms the audiences views of the movie being a thriller.

On Screen sound is yet another thing that will be apart of my thriller clip as it helps to build the tension within the scenes. this will allow each scene and camera shot to be able to build tension and build and emotional link between the movie and the audience. An example of this is a persons voice overlaying a conversation that is taking place on scene much like they do in animated movies like Finding Nemo or Shark Tale. 

Silence already is not a sound as much as it is the lack of sound has a massive effect on my thriller movie, silence builds tension as well as foreshadowing events that happen soon e.g. an attack or murder. This element of sound is widely used across the thriller genre as it creates a strong sense of mystery and being lost.
