In the genre horror, the use of diegetic and non -diegetic sound effects have a significant role in helping create a specific atmosphere, mood, and tone. The sound effects prompt the audience to evoke emotions such as scared, frightened and terror.
Furthermore, non- diegetic music/sounds are key for a horror film. This is because it helps build up tension and create suspense. Additionally, the use of non- diegetic sound effects helps to inform the audience there is a danger.
Likewise, the use of diegetic sounds is just as important in horror films because it helps clarify time, place and social circle. Speech used by the characters in a movie is an example of diegetic sounds. Despite that, in horror, the tone of voice used by the character to deliver the dialogue reflects fear, alarm, and panic.
Common conventional types of music in the genre horror are isolated instruments that typically used before a key event occurs. Isolated instruments help show the audience the character in the movie is venerable, defenseless and unsafe. In addition, long suspenseful notes in contrast with short sharp notes are commonly used to shock and startle the audience. Furthermore, change in pitch tone e.g. brass notes with a sudden change too fast high-pitched notes help create an atmosphere of tension and anxiety.
In the clip above it contains the non-diegetic music for our film. Additionally, it also shows why we chose the track and when it will be used.
The website we used to get our sound effects is called FMA (Free Music Archive). It has a variety of free non-copy write music to pick from, for all genres.
We picked our three few tracks appropriate for our film and then put them in a short clip using the software moviemaker.
