Sound

The sound in which we chose to accompany our thriller, was of a young child singing 'Ring a Ring O' Roses'. This was chosen as when sung slow it sounds haunting and intimidating, but also as it has the connotations of children and innocence it wil convey to the audience that the images on the screen aren't right or natural causing them to question what happened, thus building tension. In addition to this we also chose the song as its content is about how people died of the black death, this added meaning to the song, gives the implications that our character is dead, causing narrative engima and creating tension.


'Ring a Ring O' Roses'-


Ring-a-ring-o-roses
A pocket full of posies
A tissue, a tissue 
We all fall down


We also want to have a non-diegtic sound of a little girl laughing this is as it juxposes the image on the screen causing tension and giving our thriller a haunted feel. When these sounds are not present we will have ambient sound of the woods which will have; wind, trees rustling etc. Also we are going to add the diegetic sound of a twig snapping this will happen when we have a midshot of the charcter where the camera will pan away from her and then back. By doing this we are adding to the tension of the sequence as it makes the audience aleart and aware of the surroundings.
