Our Vision

Colour Palette

This is our colour pallet we have created to convey the colours we want to include in our movie opening.  We have chosen the idea to use really dull dark colours to add to the eerie mysterious atmosphere we are looking to create, alongside bold, dashes of colour. We wanted this colour to be red due to the colour of blood, red also represents death, danger, and fear we want to symbolise in our opening. These are stereotypical colours used in horrors. We want to use dimly lit lighting which will contrast the character who will be in white, to make them stand out in the dull negative space around them.

Sound Type	Comment	Test of Sound
Lullaby	Throughout the whole of the montage we have planned to have a soft lullaby playing in the background sang by a group of year 7 girls. This helps to create the scary effect and changes the mood and atmosphere to compliment the horror themed opening. We have composed our own piece to fit our film opening basing the lyrics on our narrative. By doing this we aren’t breaking and copyright rules.	https://www.freesound.org/people/RaspberryTickle/sounds/232148/
Heart rate monitor	In the narrative part our opening to complement the sections where the tension rises we are planning on using a heart rate monitor. By using the increase or decrease of the monitor it will help build suspense and tension. This helps prepare the audience for the next shots to come.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/heart-beating/
Scratching	Scratching sounds are commonly found to be quite uncomforting and harsh to listen to. This sound will be effective as the audience can gain a mix of feelings, e.g. disturbed, uneasy, and distressed. This effect will help build a dramatic atmosphere.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/scratching-off-coating-on-scratchcard-long-version/
Screaming	Sounds of screams automatically create sense of danger, for not only the antagonist or the characters within the film but also for the audience. This is effective as it helps them experiencing the same scenario.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/female-scream-in-fear-or-pain-1-2/
Footsteps	In our opening the use of footsteps allows the audience to engage a sense of where about the antagonist is. This helps us to get our bearings around how far or close away they are and whether to feel scared or not.	http://www.zapsplat.com/music/footsteps-shuffling-on-carpetcreaky-wooden-floor/
Heavy breathing	Opening to heavy breathing often helps to show the characters comfort zone. Heavy breathing is associated with discomfort. Fast breathing can show panic un-satisfaction, danger. Slow breathing can convey the character comfortable, full awareness, safety.	https://www.freesoundeffects.com/free-track/breathing-heavy-428613/heavy%20breathing/
