Planning The Sound - Done -

    Sound Planning

Sound is important in the film world as it is a micro element that can provide atmosphere and emotion within a scene , and can cause a desired audeicne response. I believe it is important to think about the sound especially in thriller films it can add to the tension created by the narrative or the scene and therefore provide the audiecne with a further understanding of what is going on , furthermore the sound can also help the audeicne predict what is going to happen.

Some of the conventional uses of sound in thrillers are :

• Non-Digectic sound is used to enchance the tension in the scene and therefore create extra supsense , the most common examples of non-digectic sounds are soundtracks.
• Parrell sound  reflects what is happening in the scene
• Degectic sound is used to enchance the realistic pleasure of films , digectic sound includes dialogue nor other sounds where you can see where they are coming from.
• Off-screen is a the sound where you can hear it but can not see where it is coming from , a prime example of this is footsteps off scene.

The sound I plan to use in my thriller consists of the following :

1. Non-Diegectic sound will feature in my film when our main character Troy appears , this will be effective as it will develop the audiecnes character portofilio of him , and therefore he will be labelled as the angtansist due to the negative music being present. Non digectic is a conventional sound technique as it  can enhance and increase the viewing pleasure as the music could represent a theme or feeling in which in terms of a thriller would be fear and excitement.
2. Off screen Sound will be used in my film where there is a point of view shot , the sound we hear is heavy breathing , we can not see where this sound is coming from and therefore is off screen. Off screen sound is an effective sound technque as it can scare the audeicne as they dont know when it is going to happen this is a reason why it is conventional to the thriller genre. 
3. Digectic sound will be used when our character throws the chain on the bench and you can hear the chain crashing to the bench , this is a effective use of sound as it allows the use of natural and realistic sound to take place.
4. On-screen sound will be used used in my thriller when the female character , julia is screaming during her kidnapping ordeal. On screen sound is an effective choice as the audiecne can see where the sound is coming from , and therefore the scene is realistic as the image is reflectived in the scound. On screen sound is conventional to the genre thriller as it can express the emotion of the scene in terms of sound and therefore increase the tension or fear created by the scene.
5. Parallel sound will be used in my film when the male character troy is physically overpowering the female character Julia during the alleyway scene , this is an effective sound technique as the scene becomes more realistic due to raw sounds only being used , which is therefore conventional as the audience can witness the violence and infer what's going to happen via the introduction of the parallel sound.

Planning the sound of my thriller was essetnional as it allowed me to eatablish the most common sound techniques I needed and therefore prepared me for whcih scenes I was going to use them in.
