SOUND

   In films, sound can have a significant impact. It can help communicate the storyline and advance the plot by surrounding the audience in a strange environment. Sound can also evoke feelings and establish the mood of a movie. For my film, I wanted to add sound because it can make a difference in how the audience feels while watching the film. I decided to make sure that there is nothing of sound as we filmed so that the emotion the characters are portraying can be heard. I also wanted to add a music piece throughout the film opening to create a sense of worry and make what is going on in the scenes more dramatic.

In the film opening, there is a moment in which one of the characters, Eliana, is changing and getting ready in her room while playing music to try to distract her from what she had just done. After playing the music and she puts the sound at its max level which eventually makes her mom tell her to lower the sound. This can make the audience really feel how she is calming down a bit after such a chaotic moment. The music piece that is shown above is still going to be slightly heard in the background to really connect all of the characters and their scenes together.

Another sound element that I will be using is sound effects. I will also be making these sounds with techniques like foley in order to really get the perfect sound. For example, the moment when Mercia's coach blows a whistle at her will be done by me and a microphone. One of the major sound effects is what ends the film's opening with a police car siren. This will give the audience reassurance that what the characters did was bad enough to include the authorities in the picture.
