Final Genre Decision

Image
After looking over each genre, we decided that, in order for our pitch to be correctly formatted, that the thriller genre would fit. We came to this reason because the thriller genre is almost exactly how we want the opening sequence for our pitch to be like, scenes full of suspense and avid movements. The reason why horror genre wouldn’t work for our pitch was due to the plot having no horror sense at all. The plot of our pitch is greatly action-related and a horror genre wouldn't fit to all the scenes having more movement.

Lighting: Dim lighting and silhouettes are used in horror films because it creates tension due to its mysterious and dark atmosphere, controlling how much of the surroundings and characters are revealed.  Props: Chainsaws, ...

What Sounds Should We Use?

As we sat down to plan out our film, one of the first things we discussed was the diegetic sounds we wanted to use to create the desired atmosphere. We knew that we wanted the sound design to be a key component of our film, helping to immerse the audience in the world we were creating. One of the first sounds we decided to include was the sound of rain. We wanted to create a sense of melancholy and sadness, and the sound of rain falling on a tin roof was the perfect way to do that. We also decided to use the sound of wind to create a feeling of isolation and desolation. The sound of the wind howling through an abandoned building would help to convey the sense of emptiness we wanted to portray. To add tension and suspense to a particular scene, we chose to use the sound of footsteps approaching slowly from a distance, gradually getting closer and closer. We also wanted to use the sound of a ticking clock to create a sense of urgency in certain scenes, particularly those where the protag...
