Sound Research

As we are planning on making a horror film, the sound is extremely important and is seen as one of the vital components in a horror film. The sound of heartbeats and organ music can increase the tension, and make for an eery feeling in a horror film. Silence can also be used effectively to build tension, suspense and anxiety. 
 

Often sounds used in horror films are noises which you hear in the background, these generally increase in volume and pitch until they reach a crescendo. Sounds used in this way are great atmospheric techniques, useful for creating unsettling moments.
