Sound

Sound in our thriller opening title sequence

 

In our thriller opening title sequence we want to use music which reflects the genre and the theme of our psychological thriller. Our thriller opening title sequence has the theme of light and dark personalities. We have looked at other thriller opening title sequences that inspire us and have looked at the soundtrack they use in these sequences. For example the opening sequences we looked at were "Se7en" and "Dexter", both of these openings had different types of soundtrack, "Se7en" soundtrack created tension and sounded creepy this made the opening titles different and stand out. Whereas "Dexter" soundtrack showed the thriller genre and created tension throughout the sequence. 

 

All of the scenes in our thriller will be silenced so that the background diegetic sound will not be heard, in certain parts of our opening for example when the teenage girl hears the noises. The noises made by the alter-ego will be emphasized in editing and become non-diegetic sound so that it creates tension and so that the noises that are made are clear to the audience. The soundtrack used in our thriller opening title sequence will start as soon as the animation starts to create tension, this is inspired by the opening title sequence of "Se7en". This is typical of the thriller genre as the diegetic sound is usually not heard instead the non-diegetic sound is quietly played throughout the opening sequence, the soundtrack slowly starts to build in the crosendo this creates and builds the tension to show that a certain character is the antagonist.

 

The soundtrack we have decided to use in our thriller opening title sequence is below. I have used the music called "creepy music box" from YouTube and edited it using "Garage Band" to make the soundtrack better and to suit our thriller opening sequence. We decided to use this soundtrack from YouTube because we thought that with a little bit of editing it would suit our thriller opening sequence and it would reflect the thriller genre.

This is the soundtarck before it was edited using Garage Band.
