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

Narrative Ideas

Brainstorm of narrative ideas  - Party gone wrong - comedy - Stalker's life - thriller - Unexpected neighbour - serial killer - thriller - Girl being followed home/stalked - thriller Main idea - My idea for my short film is in the theme of a thriller and creating suspense with the camera rather than the dialogue. The film will focus on a girl leaving a party or some sort of social event and being followed home by a stalker. I want to incorporate both the girl’s view and the stalker’s view with various camera shots, for example, a shot of the girl walking down the street either in 3 rd  person or in 1 st  person and then cutting to a shot of the stalker’s view of her walking down the street, creating two-viewpoints throughout the film and different reactions to the situation.    I had this idea for my film after seeing multiple cases of stalkers and kidnapping of women in the news in public places, like the Sarah Everard case. Using this, I want to include p...
