Sound for own production.

Sound is a very vital aspect to the project as it entices the audience into understand what is going on, this can be done via the script - enabling what the characters say and how much information they provide via the dialogue. Another, role for sound is that it can enable the audience to get involved, for example if the character is trying to cross a road and a bus goes past very fast just infront of the character, it could cause the viewer to jump.

I believe that for my production the sound I will be incorporating will be fast paced and up beat when the chase sequence occurs, this should definately get the audience involved as they can see that it is very intense as the character is running very fast and the music will get them to understand how quick the character must react.

Another form of sound which I will be attempting to use is a heartbeat noise, this will be used when the character is about to commit suicide - the audience should be able to understand that his heart is beating fast and that he is very scared of death, but he hates his life so much that he is willing to go ahead with it.

I have also been thinking about trying to use contrapuntal music where ever I can possible, but due to this being a gangster movie and it will be very intense and fast paced, finding an opportunity to use different type of music which remaining serious is very difficult.

Sound + Sequence Analysis

In this post I will be analysing the sounds used in this opening sequence made by AVS, this sequence was made in March 2012, and I believe that the sounds and the sequence is very close to the film which I would like to make, hence why I am going to analyse this sequence. I hope that this will give me some ideas and inspiration to use.

At the start we can clearly hear the Character on the phone to his friend asking for help, then the music changes into a dramatic tensed but not too tensed music with bass to increase the tension. Soon after at like 0:42 seconds the music changes once again into something very fast paced and intense as the character is being chased, this music carries on till about 1:45.

As soon as the character enters the lift, they use contrapuntal music to release the tension as the other character who is chasing him is running up the stairs, but this music changes between the two characters; one being very fast paced as he runs up the stairs and one being calm and relaxed as if he has nothing to worry about.

When the characters are at the roof of the "car park" the music changes into something which creates tension for the audience; as the character who is chasing points a gun at the other character who has nowhere to run.

After this analysis I would like to use the fast paced and tension building music when the character in my film are running, I believe that it builds tension for the audience.
