Sound Development- Josh Platt and Christy O'Shea

Today Chris and I have been looking at different sounds to include in our production. We have mainly focused on synchronous sound, like background noise such as distant car alarms and wind rustling through trees. Due to a problem we faced of not actually being able to work the alarm clock, we decided to use sound effects and we found some very good ones that add more of a scarier edge to the film. Sound effects such as the car alarm can be used as sound bridges to help link different shots, as the house is in a different location from the woods/bomb shelter. The car alarm is a strong example of extra diegetic sound as there is obviously not going to be a car when shooting inside. Another strong sound we found was the croaking of a rope, which is a difficult sound to capture on our cameras.
