Pre-Production: Initial Sound Ideas/Inspiration

Up (2009) 


Our opening will have a clear shift of tone and mood around half way through as flashbacks become darker. The beginning, during happier flashbacks will have peaceful and calm instrumental music, along the lines of the music from a jewellery box. We decided not to include lyrics to the music as we wanted the opening to have no dialogue as we use visuals to tell the story. We thought a lullaby would be perfect for our opening because it adds an eery tone due to its connotations of corrupted innocence. At the same time the tone of the opening changes, so will the music. We took inspiration from the montage from the disney film UP as the music really carried the clip and dramatically changes the mood and tone of the clip.


The Woman In Black (2012)


             

The music in this scene really holds the whole clip together. The music, with the lack of dialogue creates a really eery tone. I hope to add music like this during the darker memories of my opening.

We will also be adding diegetic sounds like bird song and laughter into the happier memories and beginning shots of the bench. This will add a sense of calmness, almost like the calm before the storm. In darker memories, we will static sounds and a high pitch sound of a kettle boiling. This adds tension and creates an uncomfortable atmosphere.
