Sound Design

Diegetic: 

• An RnB song will play in the background as Mia gets ready for the day. As it's the daily routine it's pivotal it has an element of realism iconic to thrillers; typical of teenagers. 
• A Facebook notification will go off notifying Mia and the audience that someone she doesn't know has made contact with her . 
• There will also be sound effects like footsteps, rain patter, wind and knife sharpening to make it dramatic as well as creating isolation and fear amongst the audience. 

Non-Diegetic:

• Within the title sequence we're going to have an air raid siren and the track 'Twisted Nerve' playing; both these sounds are unique and add an element of mystery to feel of the film. 

What title sequences have influenced our sound design? 

Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' title sequence is very chilling and sets a tone for the remainder of the film. This exact effect and feeling for 'The Shining' we wanted to create in our film. The track in the title sequence is particularly grand but creepy so that is why we chose the song 'Twisted Nerve'. To add to this the song in the title sequence of 'The Shining' focuses on the trumpet and much like it 'Twisted Nerve' is very central to the piano.
