In my last media lesson I watched part of the film 'The Orphanage', a 2007 spanish horror film by filmmaker J.A. Bayona. Attached above is link of a picture of the films cover. In the lesson we looked at how sound was used within a scene and what different types were used and how it helped make the make the scene. Watch the scene then come back to see what I had to say about it, the scene we watched is linked here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL3nIK2i4oo The sound track behind everything was a very, very good chilling piece of music. It started of quite quietly with violins, then as the scene comenced the violins began to play faster and more high pitched creating a lot of tention, making the viewer feel at edge.
The sound affects of the women's breathing and footsteps were exaggerated to also creat tention and make it seem as if she was in the house just above the people watching, making it very realistic and having a 3D affect.
Within the dialog of the scene the man's voice, who was talking to women walking around, was made deeper to make him sound more powerful and give him more presence. The women's voice, who was being watched, was made to sound like it was through a microphone to make it realistic that we were watching her through the screens in the room below.
