At the beginning of our scene i think we will just use the diagetic sounds of footsteps walking down a corridor. These will then be joined with a second pair of footsteps. To create a sense of being followed we will increase the speed of the first steps, and as this happens the second footsteps will quicken. Some eerie synthetic music could then be added to create a sense of unease, reflecting the victums state of mind. The following diagetic and non diagetic music options are typical for this kind of thriller;
Diagetic sounds
- Footsteps
- Heavy breathing
- Gate closing
- Screaming
- Sound of a knife being drawn
Non diegtic sounds
