Score notes (Ruheet Hasnath)

Explosion Blast 02 by Ruheet95

We used this sound at the end to give the film a loud finish just to make it more creative.

Heartbeat by Ruheet95

We used this to show that Percy is scared and his heart is pounding with fear and I think it the sound goes well with the scene.

Footsteps-2 by Ruheet95

We used this sound for when Percy was walking and this sound made the movie more realistic otherwise it will not make sense because when he is walking there should be footsteps.

Score Notes

In order for us to create suspense and make our thriller movie not predictable we have used score music that fits into our film well and it makes our scenes more sus pensive and problematic for the viewer because it will give viewers that urge to find out what happens next. It will also keep them on the edge of the seat when the suspense music starts to play.
Within our thriller we have used a sound track called in die tiefe de zeit. We use this sound track near to the ending scene to create a feeling to the viewers that something bad is going to happen to the main character in the end of the scene.

Suspense sound by Ruheet95

Furthermore we used another track which is called footsteps; we used this track in the scene when Percy is walking down the corridor towards the toilet. I used this sound because it creates a thought in the viewer’s mind that something unpleasant is going to happen to the main character.

Footsteps-6 by Ruheet95

In order for me to upload the tracks onto blogger I used software called Sound cloud and I embedded it onto blogger through this software.

Score Notes (Mariam Nawab)

Wind stalker by ColdBloodProductions\

I chose this sound as it made the atmosphere a bit creepy. The sound was chosen to make someone think whilst watching the film, why does this man (Percy, Carl) look sad or tired? It would creat enigmas because it gets the attention of the audience and instantly they look at the main character. This was played at the start of our film, to ket the audience know that something gloomy and mysterious is about to or is happening. This was only used at the start. 

Radio station search by ColdBloodProductions

This sound was used as we have a radio prop in our film, and the scene when Percy (Carl) puts the radio on, is where another sound comes in, News Radio, then it cuts out as if the signal has gone or a supernatural force has entered leaving the radio 'confused'. This was used to create tension in the atmosphere because it instantly cuts off from the news and this gives out a panic to the audience as to how it happened. Again creating enigmas from the audience and again grabbing their full attention on the anticipating scene.

Eerie by ColdBloodProductions

This Eerie sound was chosen to make the audience frightened of the film. It builds a crescendo to the end, which would make the audience jump in fear as they may not have anticipated the ending. However, they may anticipate the ending because of this sound, it would make the mind want to hide away and think of happy thoughts but if there is sound like this, it would make it impossible to look or think about something other than what is actually happening. This is the response that I am looking for from the public.
