Planning Blog: Sound and Dialogue

In this PowerPoint, we talked about the different types of sound we will use in the film. We used different sounds such as diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental music. We will use the different types of sound to present the elements of the film. A film such as this one, crime/thriller, needs sound in it to build suspense in the movie. We used more calm sounds in the flashbacks when the main character is safe. However, we use creepy and gloomy sounds when it shows that she has been kidnapped. In the film, there is minimal talking since it is more sound-oriented. This element increases the spookiness of the film by leaving the viewer consistently curious. The dialogue that is in the film is between the the girl who was kidnapped and her friend along with the friend and the kidnapper. Each of this conversations further increase the levels suspense in the opening two minutes of the movie. I believe that between the eerie dialogue and the creepy sounds, this film will truly accentuate the elements of our genre.
