Our film starts out with a bleak mood, and an overcast sky. Pedestrians move slowly in the streets, and an unknown female protagonist goes about her day with an unimpressed, anti-social appearance. Viewers hear ambient sounds, including people walking, talking on their phones, and cars passing by as the camera follows her from an omniscient point of view. A pulsing dramatic noise announces a cut to the antagonist perspective. The overall look and feel of our movie will be suspenseful, especially because the antagonists face is never revealed. At the most, viewers will see glimpses of his shoulder or shoes. However, through camera movement and sound, the audience will be well aware of his presence as well as his sick intentions. It will feel as if you have been thrown into the mind of a serial killer.

Sound Recordings

In regards to recording sound, we will be in a realistic setting in a populated city. To give the film that truly authentic feel, we will record ambient sounds of a busy city along with cars driving by, chattering amongst pedestrians, and our lead roles feet walking against the sidewalk. In order to accomplish this, we will use a separate audio recording device along with sounds we record when filming video. There will be no dialogue in our film to preserve the suspenseful aspect as the camera movements will be words in itself. As the suspense in the film heightens,  we plan to add pulsing background music to add a sense of drama to the film. To find out what artificial sounds are best used in thriller films, I researched examples of these types of noises on Youtube. I discovered several clips that were excellent help in understanding what sounds have the most significant affect on an audience. In the end, I believe the best way to tell what sounds are the most useful is observing how impactful the scary aspect of the movie is on viewers.
