Sound Research

The beginning to our film is planned as having quite a dark tone, and as we will try and film this wherever possible, the music is an extremely important ingredient in the mixture of the feeling of our film. This extract from the sound track to shutter island, we feel, certainly creates the effect that we're looking for, with the slow but loud low string phrases at the beginning creating quite a moody image in ones head, perfect for our film.



Our main character is an author who has moved into a house, and while spending days alone inside, with his wife out at work, he begins to see apparitions and other signs that lead him to having 'writers block' as he struggles to keep sanity. His wife doesn't understand his demeanour and calls for help from the doctor, but our author is constantly haunted by a doll which is featured in the trailer.

We took inspiration from The track above and found a piece of uncopy-righted music on 'freeplaymusic.com' which sounded similar.



The piece is called alley and reflects the dark tone that we want to set in our film trailer.
This would be used in the scenes of him walking through the woods, discovering the box containing the doll, and would also appear at the end, when the final credits come up on screen.

we would use diegetic sound for the shots in which there was speech, as well as the first sequence of shots as the couple move into their new home.

There will be sound effects used in the last sequence for the transition between the shots leading to the end, as well as sound effects to alert the main character to the shadow standing in the door:



here are 3 sound effects that we could possibly use for the transitions at the end of our trailer:
