Research and Planning: Sound Conventions in a Horror Film

Sound plays a major key role in films and can change the effectiveness of the overall film f used correctly and in the right places. Horror films specifically feature scenes that aim to startle and shock the audience and one way that lends to this is the use of sound, without the sound the scene may not be as effective and not fulfil its intended aim. Horror sound tends to be diegetic to make the film more realistic and believable to the audience in order for them to relate to the film and its characters. The use of sounds we may hear regularly such as banging doors, screaming and footsteps are put in a different context and therefore become scary and make you alert. Normal sounds put into a different context receive a different reaction.
