WARNING: 11 seconds in, loud screech is heard!
Above is a short video featuring a collection of sounds for our piece. Although not in order, they are our selection of sounds used from a variety of sourced words (such as 'tension' 'atmosphere' and 'screech') from http://www.freesound.org/, which compliment our video well. The website marks the length of the sounds, which parallel our shots well (such as a two second sound converging with a two second shot). However, some of the sounds are rather long (such as the dreamlike, eerie sound that is used within the dream, which is not lengthy enough and therefore we aim to repeat this twice. We tested this to see if it sounded unusual, but coincidentally sounded quite effective).
The sounds in the video above are not in linear order, due to technical difficulties. However, they are all included. The start features the ambient owl and cars sound, which signifies the nightime stereotypes; an atmospheric atmosphere follows, which is dreamlike and builds slight tension, which converges well with the narrative (as we have practised); a combination of more sounds follows, with the tension building dreamy sound following throughout the dream, (interruptued with a screech-like rewinding sound in the jump cut). A choir-like sound is then heard when the slow-motion scene featuring the heart, as this is unknown and adds a symbolic reference - possible religion? Statik-like, screech-like sounds are heard throughout both montages, followed by the threatening 'old sick piano' on the last scene, as the camera slowly leads up to the figure and their revelation. A waily-shocking scream then concludes the piece, as this is in aim to threaten the viewer.
Overall, the sounds work well and combine together to show a series of repelling but horrificly intriguing sounds.
