Editing:

Today we edited non-diegetic sound. We searched through the computer to find suitable sound for each scene of our project.

Our final decision overall for the sound in the film were as follows:

Heavy Rain and Thunder- This gave an eerie effect to the woods scene. As we had to cut out the diegetic sound as it was not useable we used this sound effect to make the scene more realistic.

Amanda- this is from the Saw soundtrack. We also used this in the woods scene to add suspense to the scene. We found this sound worked well as it added suspense and eeriness to the scene.

Mystery accents- we used mystery accents every time the ghost comes into view in the house scenes. This draws emphasis to the fact the character is in the scene and adds a frightening feel as whenever the viewer hears it they know danger is near.

Some Things- This is also from the Saw soundtrack and we used this over the house scenes. It worked well because it is slow and eerie. It makes the girl seem vulnerable as it is slow and it creates a sense of danger because of it's low tone.

Shithole- From the Saw soundtrack. This is more fast paced music that we used for when the character is running after she sees the ghost. It shocks the viewer because it is the first fast paced sound we have used and it adds a sense of panic and distress.

Confrontation/ Dark Walk- We used confrontation and Dark walk together for when the character is walking up the stairs to the bridge. We used these sounds because they emphasise the fact that she has decided what she is going to do- that she is going to kill herself. It creates a more calming effect that puts the viewer on edge because it is such a change from previous music and they wonder what is going to happen next.

Heartbeat- The heartbeat is used for the flashbacks on the bridge. It makes us feel uneasy because we feel as though we are hearing and seeing inside the girl. It also emphasises the panic she has inside because the beat is so loud.

Prologue- The Saw soundtrack. This we used for when the girl has killed herself. It gives a sense of finality and sadness.
