Firstly it should fit the pace of the film, ie an action film would have a fast paced, loud soundtrack.. whereas a rom-com would have some kind of cheesy lovesong as well as an upbeat love song. Horror films however are alot more versatile in their music options – most like due to the amount of sub-genres horror has! A slow dramatic soundtrack could be used, such as the iconic soundtrack of Jaws which echoes the sharks slow yet calculated movements or a faster tempo’s soundtrack for murder scenes/fight scenes etc etc.]]> 2017-04-28 13:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168865564 amrisabassi https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168865801 Within the first minute of my opening I use the soundtrack from premium beat called suspicious behaviour to create a sense of mystery and suspense as this slow paced music adds to the situation that she is about to face in the forest when 'Amy' sees the warning signs and police tape. I also use a sirens and helicopter sound from youtube to highlight the fact that something bad has occurred. There is also, running with the other two sound tracks the diegetic sound actually within the filming which actually came out quite well as it gave a realistic feel, with the birds, leaves etc. You will also notice that the sound of helicopters and police sirens gets louder when she takes her earphones off to make it seem like its actually the sound she can hear. These sounds will instantly keep the audience engaged as they will feel that there will be something bad that is about to happen and it will keep them intrigued. ]]> 2017-04-28 13:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168865801 amrisabassi https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168869867 The camera angle and shots play a huge part in the film obviously. In the opening there is a close up of a leaf quivering enhancing the idea that its quite chilly. The high angle shot showing her running also brings the name of the film into visual, but also makes the audience question whats going on. The inter titles come in slow-paced and cross dissolve in and out to give that smooth effect but to also match the slow placed music. There are long and medium shots of her running with her headphones in emphasising that fact she cannot hear anything besides her music ( cannot hear the sires). The 180 degree rule is also used just before she steps on the sign, when Amy does step on the sign without realising there is a quick close up of the sign that matches her stepping on it from the medium shot. These camera shots also highlight the miss-en-scene as she is dressed as a normal stereotypical teenager with headphones and her mobile phone. These allow the audience to see that she is just a teenager like the target audience so they can relate to her. When Amy sees the signs we also see it with her asif were here eyes as the camera moves it shows us also the scenery she's seeing which is the police tape and signs. This allows the audience to realise that something bad has definitely happened and theres a lot more to come as the sound in the background is building up more suspense. The also are also able to read the signs saying 'dead body ahead' through the over the shoulder shot of Amy. The audiemce then see Amy run off into the distance from first a low angle of her dropping the sign emphasising something horrible has happened to her running home through a medium shot. This outlines that it is not the end and that more is about to happen keeping the audience engaged.]]> 2017-04-28 13:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168869867 amrisabassi https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168876931 Just before Amy enters her house, there are fast paced shots using a ball and white effect of; a knife, the warning poster and a voltage box which all seem to be key in the opening but the audience will realise this at the end of the first 4 minutes, so this idea will be a mystery to the audience keeping them alert and curious as to what's going to happen next. We then see the setting which is shown through the shots and also the internalise as it says "19:38" which shows a drastic change in the time and also explains why it is dark. Amy is shown locking the door in a extreme close up of the key turning which makes the audience suspicious as to why this shot is emphasised so much. The audience are then shown Amy running through her house to her window as her mum drives away when she's slamming it. This makes the audience scared as they still are not 100% sure about whats going to happen as they only have the same information as Amy has. Just before the lights go off there is a long shot of amy sitting on the sofa texting but as this is happening in the distance through the window the audience will be able to see the serial killer entering identifying why there was enhancement on the locking of the door. This will make the audience worried and scared as they are now one step ahead of amy because she has not seen this, the intensity builds up more when the lights go out in the whole house and we see her go down to the basement. The camera shots in the basement build up suspense as the audience know the serial killer is somewhere in the house but not sure where until there is shots of his mask behind her which will frightened the audience and then a close up of the mask and knife. The is a medium shot then a close up of the dart which scares not only Amy but the audience with her and when she finally gets the lights on the fast paced editing shows the serial killer jumping to murder her. It then ends abruptly then with the title "RUN". Overall this opening creates a huge amount of suspense until the ending but also keeps the audience engage throughout and wondering after what the story line is and what else is going to happen. ]]> 2017-04-28 13:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168876931 amrisabassi https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168884909 I used the sound track dramatic suspense from youtube to build up the suspense and also the diegetic sound within the filming which creates that realistic approach but also e.g the key turning this was diegetic sound. When Amy is slamming on the window the sound it diegetic and also scares the audiences as its so loud and scary. Running in parrallel with the dramatic suspense sound is the sound track jump scares from youtube which is used once the lights are switched off and in the basement. This sound appears overtime Amy gets closer to the serial killer which can make the audience jump especially when she enters the volt room as its a lot louder. These sounds create the suspense for the audience and keep them "on the edge of their seats" as they are going through the mystery with Amy but also one step ahead of her once they see the serial killer. In the house but running parallel with this was he jump scares that came in overtime Amy entered an area of the house that was getting closer to the serial killer when the lights switched off]]> 2017-04-28 14:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168884909 amrisabassi https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168962547 Enigma codes allow the audience to question certain aspects of a film. Within film, the use of the enigma is much more common in the horror and drama genres. These are films that rely strongly on suspense to generate the right effect on the audience, and enigma codes help to enhance this.]]> 2017-04-28 18:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amrisabassi/amvdsotw3y4k/wish/168962547
