Sound:

 Although Eva and I have yet not created any music we have both spoken in depth and agreed in what we are aiming to achieve when making our sound track. We both have decided to use garage band to create our soundtrack, as we know that then we are able to create exactly what we want, as we are able to make the whole thing ourself and we know garage band has a very large selection of sounds to use, we also both already know how to use it, meaning we are both in the position to work on the sound. We both want our sound track to differ when meeting the conventions of a stereotypical sound track to a psychological thriller.
At the beginning of our shots we would like some dialog of a conversation between Stan and his mother. We want the dialog to be brief and unclear, but loud.
 The when our characters set out on the country roads we want to have a few short shots of them in the car, with digetic music playing; that they themselves our playing in the car, singing along to.
 We want something to resemble a nursery rhyme, which sounds happy and calming, but when paired with what we are presenting visually, our setting along with the facial expressions of our characters and the quick cuts it could be interpreted as creepy and unsettling. We are doing this to create tension, but make this tension even more unsettling as nothing is clear; no body knows whats going to happen, or who is going to turn up.
I  gave him  
reason   to    open    up   to   me    
just  like    that    I   know      his    heart ,
and  like  that   his   
heart   had    broke   right  in    front  of   me 
and  I   must   now     pick up  the    pieces     that  
are  his   heart ;
I   hath    fallen     in  love  with   all  
his     honesty   and   honour      true   
with  the   heart   to   hold  on   to   all    the  people   whom   he  
held   dear in  all   the   world.
His   mournful   cry  
leaves   my   heart   breaking 
 like   a   wine   glass   in  an   earthquake , 
even   if   he's  
  grieving   over   someone   close   to   him
I   shall  not   leave  and    abandon   him   to    fates  
foolish  luck ; 
but   thats    just  fine    because   my   love   for   him  
is   strengthened   by   tears  such  as     his  
and    I   will  not    be   pushed  away     from   him    
by   his    fierce    tears  of   grief.




  • We liked the idea of having a voice over in our trailer as they are often used in thrillers to set the mood of the film.

  1. This shows your ideas really clearly, Amelia. Try to add some audio snippets to your blog once you start creating the sound to show the development of your soundtrack.
