Sound

FOLEY SOUNDS - These are sounds recorded by a foley artist often used to cover sounds that the camera & mic does not pick up e.g. footsteps 

AMBIENT SOUNDS - These are background noise e.g. wind, trees, rain etc 

HARD SOUND EFFECTS - These are noise such as explosions, guns, bombs etc 

DESIGN SOUND EFFECTS - These are effects that are made from scratch for example star wars light sabers. 

DIGETIC SOUNDS - These are sounds that are played inside the video that the characters can hear e.g. in a nightclub

NON - DIGETIC SOUNDS - These are sounds that are played inside the film that characters do not hear e.g. to build tension 

When it comes to sound our group have decided that we would use a mixture of foley sounds & Digetic & Non - Digetic Sounds, we will compose ourselves as we cannot copyright, we will do this using garageband, on the apple mac the garageband software has a few hundred sound effects, that we can put into our trailer. 


Sound is an important component in horror film as they are use to build tension and support the narrative it also builds a relationship between the audience and the antagonist   notifying the audience when he is near but cannot be seen.
