Garage Band



After looking at different soundtracks from YouTube we started to look at making our own sounds using Garage Band. Although i didn't personally make this song I think it could work quite well for the idea I have for the film.

For part of the horror film our main character is walking down a hallway, as it is empty (and we wanted the audience to feel like he was being watched or followed a footstep sound effect might be effective and needed to make sure the audience are aware of this.
The first soundtrack on this clip has a slight echo sound to it which would probably work quite well for this  scene as the corridor does echo slightly when empty.

If you listen to this clip at roughly 17 seconds, I think that this would be perfect for what I'm looking for; it isn't too loud and distracting from any of the action that would be on screen which i think that the previous one may do.

After watching tracks for the whispers, I then went on to find something which created suspense for certain points of the film.




I came across this and quite liked how there was a change in volume throughout, this gave the impact of perhaps a chase/running from the threat.

This is another video of whispering sounds; it's very different to the previous one as this is a very deep voiced man, I find this one far scarier and more intimidating because it's a man (where as the other was more feminine). Originally i wanted the whispers to be young children as i'm filming in a school and the protagonist is a male teacher in his late 20's - which obviously challenges the dominant ideologies for a horror film - but from hearing this video i am now unsure as to which would be better and more effective for my film.

In todays lesson we have been looking at different soundtracks that we would like to include in our own horror film;




In this video i really like how the whispers come and go, lasting for different lengths each time. This clip has wind in the background which wouldn't really fit with the film as ours is indoors. But it does as a creepier effect to the sound.
