On the 13th September my class watched the Regression Scene in The Orphanage (Scene to the right). We concentrated on the sound in this scene, listening to the soundtrack, sound effects, dialogue, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds.
Soundtrack (non-diegetic):-Starts with a violin portraying a mysterious environment however it then suddenly changed from painfully high (which makes the audience feel uncomfortable and not at ease) to lower quickly. This sudden change exaggerates the tension in the scene.
Sound Effects (non-diegetic):-Footsteps of the psychic walking (creaking floorboards) are put in the emphasise that the women is alone. They also give a spooky effect to her.
-Children talking and crying out for help get louder and quieter throughout the scene to depict when the women is near them and build up tension.
- Camera zooming in and out
Dialogue:- They gave the man a deeper voice to give him more presence (as if the audience is there with him)
- They also made the women's voice sound distant to make the audience see her a vulnerable and alone
Diegetic sounds:- Man writing the route she is taking with a pencil is emphasised
- Rich crisp sound of man turning the radio on
- Light flickering (this gets louder and faster)
- High pitch sound of radio/TV starting
- Man walking downstairs (Creaking steps- signifies how old the building is)
