Sound Planning

Sound Ideas

-     Beginning with fade out of party sound as girl shuts the door 

-       Diegetic sound as the girl is walking to the train station, footsteps x2, cars driving in the distance, distant sound of party, wind etc

-       Title sequence - sound of the train announcement, closing doors, sound bridge into music as train moves off, eerie music

-       Putting headphones in on the train - distant sound of the music playing in her ears - 2 songs - continues until she begins to realise the man

-       Sounds of texting are heard as she is scrolling through the phone

-       Once shots of man are shown, headphones fade out and eerie music begins again

-       Gaining tempo and volume as the scene become more tense (running away).

-       Shuts the door - sound cuts out, hear him shout and bang on the door, her fast breathing as she begins to calm - her getting up and looking at the peephole

-       Shots of him through the peephole, turning around, diegetic sound only, 

-       Shot of his back and the ‘revenge’ girls - music begins again momentarily

-       Cuts to black screen - music fades
