Post production: new sound ideas

With our first draft completed, we felt that there were some sound changes that could be made in order to improve the film opening. When inserting our ident, we though that we should attach a non diegetic sound effect to announce the ident appearing on the screen. One of the most suitable effects that we thought of was a 'whoosh' sound as this would represent the movement of the dient onto the screen. We found this effect on the iMovie list of sound and edited it so that it fit in with the visual elements of the film. We also added an echoed laughter effect on top of the two girls laughing to give it a sinister feeling, and this was done through the iMovie effects.

Towards the end of the film, we wanted to build up the tension and suspense for the climax of the film, so we layered a number of tracks that we found on a royalty free website to create the tense atmosphere. The combined tracks and instruments helped to do this.

The entrance of the titles at the end of the film opening didn't have much of an impact on the audience, so through using the Garage Band app on the iMacs, we created a drone noise to accompany the introduction of the title. It is quite a low, loud noise so helps to build the tension within the audience.
