sound updated

In the opening of many thrillers, they include non-diegetic sounds or a background piece in-keeping with the thriller genre. This adds effect in regards to building tension and hooking the audience in addition to successfully establishing the tone the thriller wishes to outlay.

Our thriller is influenced by “The Disappearance Of Alice Creed”. In their opening, they use a droning sound encompassed by higher notes adding rather scary elements displaying the metaphorical darkness. This occurs around this shot-
This sound remains throughout the entire opening representing the consistency of the kidnappers actions, the lack of change makes their movements seem smoother emphasising to the audience that they are to be feared.

Following on, it also uses some amplified diegetic sounds over this background sound which appear rather ominous. An example of this would be the squeaky wheel-
The sound is almost hellish yet everything except this wheel runs smoothly such as their professional actions, so the amplification may suggest a downfall in the kidnappers perfect seeming set up.

 These loud sheet sounds convey a professional sense, suggesting the kidnappers are organised, furthermore, the plastic sheet carries horrid sounds. This may make the audience cringe which would be very effective in representing the power the kidnappers hold.

The final element of sound in "The disappearance of Alice Creed" would be the lack of dialogue, in-fact, there is no speech in the entire opening. This comes across to be extremely effective as it means the audience doesn't know what the characters are thinking. This almost dehumanises them into these mechanical robots making them all the more terrifying.
In our thriller opening, I feel a long, building drone sound would provide ominous connotations in addition to, hopefully, building tension for our audience. I'll most likely select from one of the following sounds on

Finally, we will be using diegetic sounds from our main character "Eva" whimpering in the shed scene after her kidnapping. We also feel the shots used by Alice Creed with the amplified diegetic sounds come across extremely effective so we plan to use some heavy breathing shots to display the weakness obtained by our kidnapped character and contrast it by using strong, powerful noises to convey the power the kidnappers hold.
