Sound

The sound in our opening sequence helps to create and build tension throughout the clip, due to the effect of layering our sounds. We used Final cut pro sound effects which included:

• Heartbeat
• Drone whine
• Radio FX
• Dark drone
• Impact hit reverb
• Crying baby
• Ticking clock
• City sounds

We also imported sounds of our own choice- we had the insidious theme tune running underneath our range of sound effects, it included scary sound effects and high pitched strings. This music was part of our influences, however we decided that it would fit really well with the rest of our sound and therefore included it in our opening sequence.

During the flash back, our sounds are very layered and loud creating a sense of tension and fear for the audience. On the second half of our opening sequence when jason wakes up we used subtle city sounds such as traffic and other ambient sounds to emphasis the fact that he has woken up to reality. 

When the character of Kayleigh appears in the sequence, we use a range of 'Impact hit reverbs' to shock the audience and create a sense of fear, making it obvious that this character is the haunting one in the film. We believe that sound is a very important aspect in the production of a film, we therefore aimed to use it effectively in order to create a sense of fear, relating to our horror genre.
