Audio

In the beginning, there will be a black screen and you will just hear a marble rolling. When it clinks with a glass.  Throughout our two-minute opening, there will be eerie music. It will most likely be just instrumentals but we don't know what music exactly. One of my team members found a website where you can take out instrumentals in music and I think that will be extremely useful for our audio. Lastly, the music will fade out and you will hear a muffled phone ring when he takes it out of his pocket it will clear up he will answer, say hello, and the person on the phone will say "There has been an emergency we need you" and he will say "I'm on my way".

Research

Overall to make a scary or suspenseful movie audio is crucial. Therefore I have done research on the matter. Audio can be used to create a sense of tension and fear through elements like 

• Dissonant music: Music that uses harsh-sounding notes that clash with each other. Create a feeling of unease and discomfort.
• Low-pitched sounds: Deep sounds that can create an unsettling feel
• Sudden loud noises: Sudden bursts of sounds can cause a jump-scare
• Silence: Has to be used sparingly and can cause anticipation

    ex. Jaws theme, The exorcist theme, Psycho

One example of where we would put this in our project is the silence in the beginning with the sudden "clink" of the marble hitting the glass.
