More Sound Ideas

 After looking at my storyboard and realizing all the actions I am doing I realized I need to incorporate more sounds into my film opening. I am aware that there is music, but I feel that it is also important to have faded sounds

For example in the first scene. I can do make the door creek when opening to help enhance that sketchy and horror feeling. This also builds tension and is a common characteristic amongst horror films. Royalty free sound effects is where I found my door creak. I cannot figure out how to put the exact sound I used into blogger, but it is the third one down on the left. The action is quick and squeaky which is exactly what I need. 

Also, In that same category I found slamming doors towards the bottom. I felt this could be incorporated as the character is trying to stay secret. Slamming a door indicates that you want to be left alone at the moment, so i think it could go well with my scene. Also, the camera cuts right when it slams and you immediately go into the next scene inside the room. THis gives the consumer the feeling of secrecy and that they are apart of it currently.

For example In the Boogeyman seen above, the door slam  is effectively used to establish that something is not right immediately. This is how I intend to use it, instead of it just meaning goodbye or your angry. I want it to develop fear into my viewers.

I also wanted to include the sound of the marker popping off and writing. I could not find this online and I am going to record the sound on my phone in a separate audio then the video that will be seen. I feel like this is the main establishment of what occured if it had not been inferred before, so I think a loud marker is something needed in my opening to establish that THIS IS IMPORTANT.

I have done sound effect blogs in the past and I already have the knife being cleaned along with the sink running, so I think I am good. I know after in the Creative Critical Reflection I will find somewhere in my opening that I missed the use of a sound, but for now I think I have enough sounds, plus my classical music.

Next time I am writing my script and will talk about that so Bye!

Note for Myself: Use YouTube Audio Library
