This website has various options of scary horror sound effects which could be effective if used on our opening sequence as they relate to a few of the shots.
One sound which could be used is the 'door creek and women's scream' as it is an event that occurs in the sequence but isn't actually visible to the audience. This would be effective as it would make the scene more realistic for the viewer and draw them in more than if it were just silent.
Another sound effect we could use is the 'demented man walking' as there is a shot of the killer walking away from the body whilst dragging his fingers across the wall. It would look effective as it also has sounds of heavy breathing which could imply that he has been part of something physical e.g. a fight.
Nature noises could be used for shots of flashbacks before the girl reaches the house/'perfect place for a party'. It will symbolise the idea of peace which contrasts with the theme of the film. It will also be effective as it will add to making the shot of the girl walking through the woods seem more realistic for the viewer. One specific sound effect that would be good is 'wind' or 'amb field day'.Household effects are things such as cutlery clanking and ringtones. Ringtones could be used on the shot of the phone ringing the girl to make it feel more realistic for the audience.
For the same shot of the girl walking to the house through the peaceful woods, an upbeat piano melody could be played over the top of the wind and nature sounds. This would really show the contrast between the change in atmosphere and the before and after of her walking into the abandoned house. A specific upbeat melody we could use from this website is called 'clear air'.
This is a piece of music we may decide to use. It has a deep/low pitch drone to it which creates an eerie atmosphere for the viewer and also sets the location of an empty abandoned place.
Below is another piece of music we may decide to use for our opening sequence. It is an upbeat peaceful melody to emphasise the happiness and unknown future the girl has. It also highlights the quietness of the woods/nature she is walking through on her way to death
This is another melody that has a sombre pitch to it but also seems peaceful to the ear which contrasts with the idea of death that will be seen later on in the opening sequence. This piece of music is the best suited for our opening sequence out of the options we have chosen as it fits best with the genre as well as creating an atmosphere for the audience.
