As at task in preparation for our final clip, we had to create a soundtrack to suit the opening scene of the thriller 'Identity'. We were not allowed to watch the clip with any sound and had to create an effective soundtrack whilst including Ambient sounds. As you can see in the above image, despite an emotion piano tune to fir the theme, thunder is included to make the soundtrack appear more realistic.
Ambient sound is things you can hear that make the setting and location appear realistic. This includes things such as wind and birds in the outdoors, rainfall if its raining, and thunder claps in syn with the flashing. Also things such as cars, background conversation and music is also ambient sound.
Diagetic sound is sound where the source can be seen on screen. This includes things such as cars, speakers, conversation etc. so the viewers can see what the source of sound is.
Non- Diagetic, in turn is sound where the source can not be seen on screen, and therefore include things such as soundtracks, atmospheric noise and sharp sounding additions to add to suspense etc.
There is then Tension building Sound which is generally included to build the tension within a scene. The soundtrack to do this normally consists of a low beat tune and classical instruments. The change in this pace can the again be used to increased tension and shot speed.
