Sound is a vital component in the horror film opening, as it creates an eerie feel to the piece and helps build up the tension to the opening's climatic ending. In order to find the appropriate sounds, we searched on the website "freesound" where sound effects and compositions of music are posted by users and can be downloaded for free.
For the first half of our horror opening, the sound used is low and ominous and non-distruptive. The sound is prominent but not overwhelming, as the main action has not begun yet - the character is just walking over a bridge and then resting.
However, when the protagonist in the opening hears a suspicious noise, the score takes a dramatic turn. Strings will be introduced as the action' space picks up and the thought of a potential antagonist is alluded to.
Sound effects that wil need to be provided include; heavy breathing for when the protagonist hears the noise and begins to panic. The other sound effect that wil be included is the noise itself, most likely the splashing of water from the river below.
