Analysis of Sound

In our opening scene we analysed sound from other thriller and horror films like black swan and blair witch. Considering the sound from Black swan we realised they had used piano's and violins. This is very effective for thriller/horror films as it builds up suspense and keep the audience anticipated of when the sound is going to finish and something will happen. The music is starts of calm and suddenly the violins come in and the pitch begins to get higher. The fluctuation of sound shows there are ups and downs and it's very unpredictable. The Black Swan original sound track is very effective and melodious to listen to. 


We had also decided to use the piano to build up suspense. Whilst exploring on garage band we had found wind sounds, screeches and heart beat sounds. The heart beat sound I felt was one of the most effective as the audience can empathise with the heart beat.
