Soundtrack - Cry Wolf

 I also looked at cry wolf for non diegetic sound as this is very similar to my stalking scene however it did not have any non diegetic the sound carried through the whole of the beginning and created an audio bridge between the shots as the diegetic sound was so exaggerated making it feel like you were this was the whole way through as well as here birds the leaves and wind also building the tension.

Soundtrack The babysitter

The babysitter


In the babysitter there is little non digetic sound. It is often just the girl wimpering in the beginning. there however are low notes almost sounding like thunder rumbling and strings played as the tension builds.there are long low notes played with some sound from the symbols.
As the film begins there is some music played slowly against a low beat of the symbols and a xylophone making it very creepy and suggesting something is wrong. you can also here strings and perhaps a violin this is over the several shots creating an audio bridge also linking it together.

these get louder and faster as we are introduced to the character half way through the opening. before the girl is killed all the music is brought together and sounds very jumbled but very effective.it also rattles the sound and is very edgy. These are finally very quick before she is killed then cuts to the digetic sound.

Sound - soundtrack psycho

As well as digetic sound i also need to have non digetic sound to make the video build tension and for the final killing to be as effective as it can be with the audience. I wanted to look into similar products that i have used to influence my project. This will help me create a sound track idea for my final video.






At the start of the opening sequence there is a mixture of strings and mysterious music over the titles and idents. This is continuous, but the intensity of it is varying. There is an audio-bridge from the titles to the opening shots, but the style and sound changes.

In these opening shots the music doesn't give the impression that the film is a slasher, as it sounds quite orchestral. As the camera zooms the music changes to be more jolty by doing this it creates tension and the audience are curious of what is being zoomed in at.

Before the shower scene the music is quite quiet, with delicate strings playing in the background. This builds tension as it is a considerable change from the previous sounds. When she steps into the shower there is no non-diegetic sound. However, the diegetic sound that can be heard sounds quite exaggerated, this will bring more attention to the silence of no music.

When the scream queen is being stabbed the non-diegetic sound starts again. Dramatic strings are used to create suspense and add intensity to the killing scene. There is also a constant layering of screams over the music and the strings are very sharp and disjointed. When the killer leaves the room the strings then become very low and less dramatic to reflect what has happened.and the lack of life now left in the room.
