Research into music/sound

Music: Sad song

In our film, we are hoping to put some non diagetic sound of sad music in which will reflect the tone and mood of the story. It will make the audience feel the story more and make there inner emotions come out. This music may be played in the title sequence or during a particular emotional scene in the film such as when Lola finds out she is actually a dead spirit. The music may build up and become more tense in scenes such as when Lolas parents are arguing or during the flashbacks.

 In the clip above is a good example of something we are hoping to find or achieve and add to our short film. It starts off with a simple piano which is quite calm yet has an emotional sad feel to it. In then builds up with violins and other string instruments to create more tension and more emotion within the song itself.

Background noise: ambient hospital sounds

In our short film, the setting is located within a hospital/hospital room. To make the short film more realistic, during these scenes we will place a quiet ambient hospital sounds to make it sound like Lola is in an actual hospital.

The clip above is a good example of something similar we are wanting to find. It has the typical sounds you would find in a hospital such as heart monitors, nurses/doctors chatting, walking and doing everyday jobs.

Non-diagetic sound: Heart monitor

 

During the title sequence of our film, we are wanting it to start with the sound of a heart monitor. This is to justify to the audience where the film is heading. It will let them know the film is in a hospital setting and a character within the film is either dying/dead. It also brings realism for the audience as the sound is a motif which will be recognized by everyone. 

 

 

Car accident/car tyres:

This non-diagetic sound effect will be played when Lola is having flashbacks of her accident. This is because as we may not be able to edit/film the actual car accident due to this being very difficult, we can at least add the sound effects to let the audience know how she died. This may also bring realism as the car tyres is a sound which will be recognised.
