USE OF SOUND EFFECTS

The sound clip below highlights some of the sound effects we used throughout out trailer. We found that the majority of the sounds we included appeared to elevate and get higher in pitch to come across as scarier and to build up tension; this was included after the period of the disruption of equilibrium. 

 After putting in sound effects with music included, we started putting in diegetic sounds such as heavy breathing and panting as well as door knocks and phones ringing. We did this as after the production process, we found that most of the sound made during recording was made fainter by music and other sound effects put in during post production. The diegetic sound effects put in and heightened allow the audiences to really understand how the characters are feeling and this is especially important with the genre of horror.
