THE PITCH - Sound design (Written by Lama)

Sound Design 

Diegetic and non diegetic sound:
We want our non-diegetic soundtrack to sound Eery and mysterious. In the title sequence, the soundtrack will begin when the audience know that there is something wrong (when they sense the demons presence). This will make the audience more aware of what is happening or going to happen.                   
We will be using sound to make the audience sense the demons presence, for example i thought of light whispering sounds 

Using sound from the application in the Apple store 'GarageBand' will make it easier for us to edit and embed into our film. In this application i looked at some sounds and they are of high quality, this means using them would not affect the quality of our film opening negatively. Also, some sounds like loud glass shatters are difficult for us to record as foley, so using this app instead is much better.
For the non diegetic soundtrack, we will use a website called Freeplaymusic.com to download the music to edit/embed into the film. The only music that matches our genre is the 'Horror movie' sound, i thought it was good to have something playing throughout the film to grab the audiences' attention. Another thing that would make the audience more aware of whats going on is to have a consistent soundtrack. 


Sounds in film opening (in order):

1. TV noise
2. Dog barks/ Door bell
3. Lady footsteps (on marble)
4. Squeaky door, dogs barking 
5. Lady footsteps (on marble then carpet, as walking down stairs)
6. Whistle and Thuds
7. Radio
8. Static noise
9. Loud glass shattering
10. Wind
11. Police siren, dog barks, cars, honks)
12. Creaking stairs 
13. Lady choking 
14. High pitch ringing 
15. Lady footsteps (on marble)
16. Deep breath/ heartbeat 
17. Gasping/ struggling to breathe

We will also be using some sounds from this audio clip throughout the title sequence; this will make our film opening more horror than of it being thriller. This is one problem we are facing at this stage, we have been starting to realise that our film opening is actually more of a suspense type opening.
