use of sounds within our opening sequence by Jamie Hutton

There are two types of sound. diegetic and non-diegetic;

Diegetic is the sound within the frame which the characters can here, for example a fire alarm.

Non-diegetic is the sound that is edited in after filming, E.g. a voice over.

Both type of sounds can be very effective within the film as they can both represent the genre of our film. when looking for non-diegetic sounds we used a very momentous sound as the music which created a chilling thrill for the audience. We used this music as our film genre is psychological horror so we wanted to make the viewers feel uncomfortable and mysterious of what is going on. 

 we composed our music, which worked well we changed parts as we needed it to be in time with the opening sequence shots.

The diegetic sounds help the viewers know the characters are aware within the film. We used the ringing of the telephone as an alarm within our opening as the noise can represent a signal that something is going to happen. The noise from outside the office captures to the viewer and character that some body is outside.
