Sound in Horror films

Se7en

Within this opening the director has used parallel sound to create a tense nervy atmosphere for the audience as it shows sharp knife blades scratching away at skin which is represented by the sound of an eery chalk board scratching sound. For our thriller horror i think that if we could use parallel sound to rein-act the action of what happens with in it would create the nervy feel for the audience, which is what we are trying to do. Further more it uses thunderous sounds, which connotes danger and darkness. In our thriller horror opening, we could use sounds like this to show something bad is going to happen.



The conjuring



The first sounds i hear in the clip are deep drowning sounds like a trumpet. This again creates a dark tense atmosphere. The director has also used non-diegetic sound which sounds computerized which helps to add a scary atmosphere. In our opening i think by adding in sound effects it will help build up the tensions the the audience when watching, such a dramatic noises which you wouldn't expect.
