dun, dun, duuuuunnnn....

 Sound design is one of the most vital, and effective tools within horror films. This element is used often in movies like "A Quiet Place", where the silence is unsettling, and in "Psycho" Where the string stabs create fear within audiences, showing that audio has the power to dictate audiences emotions, psychologically.

While I cant include evidence of the sound in "A Quiet Place", or rather, lack thereof, i'm sure you can imagine the absolute silence, which after an hour and a half of, begins to make audiences unsettled.

For my opening, I plan to use a combination of ambient noises, as well as unsettling sound effects, such as the traditional "horror" sound. A low, droning background sound creates tension within audiences, especially when pierced by sudden, sharp noises such as a creaking door or footsteps, which will be used to unnerve viewers. 

I will also incorporate moments of silence, strategically, in order to allow suspense to build before delivering a good scare. By crafting a good audio to backup my film, I intend to heighten fear with elements other then visuals.
