Sounds Associated With Horror

Film uses more than just visual effects to create suspence and certain emotions. The audio has become very important in movies and especially the Horror genre. Horror create some of the most iconic sound effects used in the film industry and they use them to great effect, to cause tension and nail-biting, pillow-squeezing, white-knuckle scenarios.

The key to creating tension and causing scary moments in horror movies is the background music which have to signify that something bad is going to happen to keep the audience on the edge of their seats or peeking behind the cushions, this feeling of not wanting to watch but having to is what the horror genre is all about

This sound could be used as a jumpscare to create a loud noise and terrify the audience.

 

Sounds that are included in other film genres are sometimes modified to fit in to the horror genre. for example, a laugh like this is clearly modified to sound demonic and scary.

 

 

 

Sounds we here in real life are even scary if used appropriately in horror.

 

Non-edited Version

This is our film without any editing, it has 4 and a half and minutes worth of footage which is good because i gives us plenty of room to edit the film. There were some trouble with some of the scenes in terms of continuity but hopefully, well-timed editing will eliminate most of these errors.

Filming

These are images of us filming our opening title sequence and overall, i think that the session went well however it was our second session as we were unorganised for the first session. We got all of the shots we needed however there may be some minore mistakes and the editing will have to be top notch if we want this opening title sequence to look brilliant.
We used our own camera and tripod because they were better quality and the tripod was more functional. Our main problem was the microphone as it didnt quite fit the jack, however we got it in on most of the scenes we needed audio on.
