Sound (emeka)
Off-Screen
Off-screen sound will be used when the audience is
introduced to the main character as the antagonist to show the mental torture
they are going through.
Using Logic Pro X I will create sound to ensure the audience
understand it is not coming from anything on screen and it is not in the line
of sight of the naked eye. I have chosen this specifically as I can use LP to
ensure the sounds are of the highest quality and match the mood of the scene.
This is common in thrillers to show the rising tension in a scene that
something is about to happen.
On Screen
On screen sound will be used for when the main character is
training and practicing with his entrepreneur for what he wants to do with him
and is a very important scene in the opening and the prop used for training
will be highlighted when being used to single out the specific action as if to
make the prop an iconography in the opening allowing the audience to see where
the sound is coming from. This is a common convention using on screen sound to
show the audience where a noise may be coming from such as in Watchmen an on
screen sound was the TV that the victim was watching.
Contrapuntal
Contrapuntal sound will be used when the two characters are
seen walking away from the crime scene near the end of the scene, this will be
used to make the audience think ‘oh this seems like nothing is wrong here’ but
really the sound will be used to hide their actions and cover up the fact that
they had just committed an act of some sort. This is a good way to give the
audience an idea of what type of characters they are, the main characters
physical and intimidating mixed with the entrepreneurs’ cheekiness to show that
there is definitely something wrong there.
Non-Diegetic
Non-diegetic sound will also be used and is the key sound in
the opening as it is not part of the film world and consists of things such as
sound effects, soundtracks and voiceovers, which is good for the opening as it
draws away from using the sound in a recording. Muting the irrelevant sounds
from the recording and creating my own sound is a good way to experience the
different effects I can add to the scene using sounds and also add my own theme
behind the sound and if I wanted I could add a voice-over as if to depict the
life of the character in third person.
Editing (Abass)
The editing of a scene is one of the most important things
when you’re making an opening scene. If you don’t get the editing right your
scene could look very poor whereas on the other hand if editing is done well
your scene could look brilliant so it is important to get the editing right.
Fade to black
One editing technique I am going to use is fade to black.
This editing technique is used in a scene when you’re trying to go from one
scene to another. I am going to use this when the guy in the mask’s scene ends
and when the antagonist starts training the victim.
Straight cut
Another editing technique I am going to use is straight cut.
This editing technique is the most used and most simple editing technique. It
is just one shot moving to another shot. I can specify where I will use this
because this will be use a lot in the opening scene.
Zoom
Another editing technique that I am going to use is zoom
this when the shot moves closer to a specific place in the shot. I am going to
use this during the scene when the antagonist is on his own acting weird in
order to create more of a creepy effect on the antagonist.
Fast paced editing
Another editing technique I used was fast paced editing.
Fast paced editing used to make the scene more effective and make it look scarier
as well. I use fast paced editing during the scene when the antagonist is in
the room on his own.
