To present a horror effect, there is a use of contrasts between the scene and the sound being played. The use of these juxtaposed ideas presents comfort to the audience, however they are also still scared. Lullabies are what we hear as kids, therefore should make us feel at ease but not in a horror situation.
During an intense situation, high stings are used. Whilst hearing this, it noticeably sounds like a cry for help. The repetition of this sound can be fairly overwhelming, so the audience does not know how to react. All they know is that they are scared, both for that character and themselves.
Claude Debussy "Music is the space between the notes": Music is the final thing to be added before post-production; ensuring that everything works together for maximum effect.
He was a French composer who was born on 22nd August 1862 and died on 25 March 1918.
Jump Scares
A Jump scare is the temptation to go from silence to a sudden noise, or 'jump'. It is also an effective way to lead the audience into false sense of security beforehand. The scene could be on a calm scene, to then have something pop up.
Combining Sounds
This is a good technique for sound design. These can include: a human scream, camera shutter, brass/woodwind swell, single high note on xylophone.
Creating Sound
Reversing a sound to make it unrecognised. Meaning the audience are aware of the sound, but can not make out quite what it is saying or doing; this adds a dramatic effect. There could also be reverb, echoes or panning included.
However, it is important to avoid clichés. We therefore do not want to audience to picture a pre-existing film rather than our opening title sequence. This will be less effective because the audience will not believe ours is unique, and possibly favour a different one instead.
