In our film we will be using sounds to build suspense and help create drama, this will help maintain the audiences interest. The characters of our film also play a major role in creating suspense during certain scenes in our film. For example when the groomer Alan is sitting on the sofa with Paige the sound builds up to create tension for the viewers, the sound effects will be non diagetic to enhance the drama of the scene.
The film that I have researched that contains a lot of non-diegetic sounds to create a low, cold mood involving horror and suspense is the film ‘Insidious’ which was made in 2010. I have chosen this film as an example because the music that has been used has a low tone and at some parts of the film is very aggressive.
When the film wants to build an aggressive mood the music starts off quietly. The sound then builds up getting louder and faster to make viewers aware of something bad is about to happen. This can be used throughout our film with adjustments to the sound levels according to the amount of tension we wish to build. Increasing some levels in this way is often termed as hyperbolic.
