Sounds for our film For our film opening sequence we will be using both diegetic

( sounds the characters can hear) and non diegetic sounds ( sounds the characters can hear).

Our non-diegetic sounds will be: News report opening theme music  Background Music ( piano, synths, violins)- these sounds

will help create tense and suspense during the moments where we want to increase our viewers anxiety and correspond with the action within the film.

Our Diegetic sounds will be: Laughter and Conversation- for the group when the group

are socializing, creating a lighter care-free atmosphere Rusting of trees- use of ambient sounds, also builds to the

atmosphere building up the tension Footsteps and screams
