The vision

Sound scheme for the opening of the film

Sound type	Comment	Test of the sound
Lullaby	Throughout the whole of the montage there is a soft lullaby that is going to play in the background with a young girl singing it. This helps to create the scary effect and changes the mood and atmosphere to compliment the theme of the opening of the fil being a horror movie. It is a very stereotypically used thing in the beginning and throughout a horror movie however we would be composing our own piece to fit our film and not break the copyright rules.	https://www.freesound.org/people/RaspberryTickle/sounds/232148/
Heart rate monitor	At moments in the narrative part of the opening of the film there are going to be a few sections where the tension is rising and so by using the increase or decrease of the heart rate monitor it will help to build tension up to what the audience may feel is a scary part that they need to prepare for.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/heart-beating/
Scratching	For many different people the sound is scratching is found to be quite uncomforting and harsh to listen to. People almost find it disturbing as it makes you feel uneasy as it is not a visually pleasing sound.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/scratching-off-coating-on-scratchcard-long-version/
Screaming	For anyone that hears screaming, there is an automatic sense of danger, for not only the antagonist or the characters within the film but also for the audience that feel that they are there and are experiencing the same scenario.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/female-scream-in-fear-or-pain-1-2/
Footsteps	In our opening with narrative, the use of footsteps allows the audience to engage a sense of where about the antagonist is, and although we cannot see them at the time it helps us to get our bearings around how far or close away they are and whether to feel scared or not.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/footsteps-shuffling-on-carpetcreaky-wooden-floor/
Heavy breathing	The heavy breathing in the beginning of the film, often helps to show the characters thoughts on whether or not they are in their comfort zone or not. If the breathing were to be fast then it would show that they may be in a slight panic about something or may not feel completely satisfied that they are out of danger. If the breathing were to be slow then it would show that they are comfortable and that they are aware of all of their surroundings and know they are perfectly safe and have nothing to worry about.	https://www.freesoundeffects.com/free-track/breathing-heavy-428613/heavy%20breathing/

   

 

Colour palate

As a ground we have come together to decide that we are going to use a range of dull and dark colours in order to compliment the mood and atmosphere that we are creating to match the genre of horror. These are going to be stereotypical colours that are used in horror movies in order for the audience to be able to sense the tension. By using dimly lit lighting this with also help with creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere. The use of red with in the opening scene and montage not only refers to the theme of pain, threat, and death but also to danger as it is a warning colour. The characters are going to wear white or very light clothing so that they are highlighted and stand out from the negative space.
