My First choice was World war Z the last scene in W.H.O Research Facility where our heroes Gerry Lane the protagonist and his support character Segan and one W.H.O doctor must venture into B-wing because Gerry wants to make himself ill to test his theory however the pathogens are stored in B-wing. They are in Wing a connected to Wing B by a sky bridge. They make armor out magazines and take weapons.
Gerry and the group slowly trend through the cafeteria of B-wing, the music is ominous and unsettling. Gerry accidently knocks Mountain Jew rolling down, it rolls down producing a loud echo that could have got them killed. The group stands dead still, slowly trending once again after that mistake. They come across dark hallway in research facility, all of sudden the lights; the sound is stricken with bass and tremble sparking out my 5.1 speakers. The music is still ominous and unsettling as they continue to navigate the hallways. Gerry goes around the corner with the group following him, he steps on broken glass, the sound is loud as the glass cracks upon each step then until one glass produces quite the reverb. The shot changes from the close of the feet to a highway of the zombies that turn their head to that but however they weren’t unsettled. They come across room full of zombies. Gerry slowly peaks, the POV shot of the room full of zombies. One zombie makes guttural growl and breathing that fills the whole room making Gerry go back in to cover. The group takes advantage as the zombie’s back is turned, Segan crawls to the other side of the hallway while Gerry Watches. Then the W.H.O scientist goes and spot checks for Gerry’s turn that is hold back twice as the zombie turns in their direction letting out guttural screech in their...

...ng that brings the audiences neck hair attention. The loud sounds of them stepping on glass, knocking the mountain Jew can that rolls, the door making creaking sound that unsettles the zombies. These sounds were directly amid at unsettling the audience heart because as I viewer myself their so much tension and fear as they made their way through the hallway because of the silent ambiance and ominous music. All we hear is the guttural groans and growl as they sneak. Sound used in this scene made it horror because the minor scale key music that induce suspense and tension, the silent ambient, the lack of dialogue because only hand gestures were used. Mostly music and bit of sound effects were used however it was very effective in creating tension and suspense because after watching WorldWarZ. This scene is most tense scene in the film, because it gets your heart going
The sound effects grabbed my attention and continued to make me yearn for what could come next. The sounds bring me to a place where I can’t help but believe in the situation that’s happening. The music heightens my mood and helps create illusion. For example, the first extraordinary sound technique I noticed that the filmmaker used was the echo effect. It was not only used to support the mood the characters were at, but also to express that idea of the ‘emptiness’ in them. This technique dominated the audio when I was taken to a story in the film of a boy who was 18 and poisoned by his own sister. Those are some of the dominant examples of sound usage throughout the movie The Poisoners Handbook. The entirety of the soundtrack is a solid cocoon for the film to stretch and grow
Enhancing the sustained fright of this film are an excellent cast, from which the director coaxes extraordinary performances, and Bernard Herrmann's chilling score. Especially effective is the composer's so-called "murder music," high-pitched screeching sounds that flash across the viewer's consciousness as quickly as the killer's deadly knife. Bernard Herrmann achieved this effect by having a group of violinists frantically saw the same notes over and over again.
Film scholars around the world agree that all genres of film are part of the “genre cycle”. This cycle contains four different stages that a specific genre goes through. These stages are: primitive, classic, revisionist, and parody. Each stage that the genre goes through brings something different to that genre’s meaning and what the audience expects. I believe that looking at the horror genre will be the most beneficial since it has clearly gone through each stage.
During the Liquidation of the Ghetto, a man in the sewers is attempting escape from the soldiers. Tension is created with the savaged barking dogs and gunshots can be heard as diegetic sounds, generating fear for the audience. In the hospital, a doctor is euthanising terminally-ill patients so the soldiers could not unleash their bullets and let the patients die in a horrific way. The bed sheets and the patients are in white contrasting the blood symbolising death because the blood is the colour black. Low angles are used when the soldiers are going upstairs in the apartment to clear it; tension is created because the low angle shots demonstrate the Germans gaining power and control as the Jewish have lost all of their personal possessions. When a Jewish man tried to save the life of a life young Jewish boy that attempted escape, Spielberg filmed this scene as a handheld shot to generate a sense of panic. After the Jews are cleared of their apartments, women and men are separated to highlight fear and widespread terror for the audience.
In the title sequence the music starts of very quiet and slow and as the music speeds up it builds anxiety within the audience because they want to know what going to happen. It also builds a horrific tension within the audience; also it shows the camera from the shark’s point of view in the sea which is an effective way to build tension because the audience...
“Apocalypse Now” is a legendary war film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The film’s main theme is devastation, violence, and horror. In this film Coppola thoroughly scrutinized the main characters ideas, behavior, and emotions to depict the darkness and the horror of war. His goal was to make the audience part of the horror. He wanted the audience to have a tremendous impact on this film and he succeeded with the perfect use of sound and editing in the ending sequence of his film. I will demonstrate how Coppola exploits a wide array of sound and editing to create suspense, intensity, and anxiety in the sequence to affect the audience’s emotions, using diegetic ambient sound effects, non-diegetic music, voice over and four editing types.
The sound used in this scene are all diegetic, the sounds of gunfire and explosions show that the characters in this scene are in very real danger of being shot or blown up, this helps the viewer develop a more personal connection with the characters since the scene is towards the end of the film, the viewer has developed a personal connection with the characters and do not want them to die. The diegetic sounds of military personnel can be heard, this is used to show the urgency that the military personnel have to get The Sapphires and Dave out of the dangerous situation. This scene is used to emphasise the danger that Dave and The Sapphires are in very real and very lethal danger, the mixture of sinister camera angles to emphasise the visual danger that the characters are in to the inhospitable sounds portrayed by the scene to highlight the explosive danger that the characters are in. The lighting used features the darkness and the difficulty to see due to the night sky.
Sound is something that gets very little credit in movies, even considering the significant role it plays. In The Witch, by Robert Eggers, the multiple different sounds used brought the entire movies together as to add the extra horrifying sense intended.
In Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, sound is used as an effect to scare people and create a “spooky” feeling. They used the sounds of a storm with rain and thunder, the sound of footsteps coming up from behind people, and other noises like creaky stairs, floors, and doors. This created that “haunted” or “spooky” feeling that would be used over and over again in horror films for decades. When they used sound effects, it was to emphasize that something was either happening or about to happen.
Overall, the score was beautiful and appropriate, adding suspense and mystery at all the right times. The sound effects added psychological flavor to the story without drawing too much attention to it.
Genre Genre is a term that is used to classify or describe a type or form of literature. While this sounds like a simple concept, it in actuality is a very complicated classing system. The reason for the complication is that literature does not always follow the typical characteristics set up by that type of genre. For example, one of the characteristics in the genre of tragedy is that there is a tragic hero, who is in a position of power. In the classical tragedy this is true, as can be seen in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex because the tragic hero is Oedipus, who is the king of Thebes.
We enjoy suspense because it gives us a good feeling. We like it because it’s entertaining and makes us keep watching. Suspense is important because it helps tie a story together. The lights and sounds help make it feel like you are somewhat their but also makes you sit on the edge of your seat. Many movies have different types of suspense but a lot have the same and they are really popular to use in big movies. Like in stranger things the beginning it shows a guy running down the halls with loud creepy music. They also make his footsteps louder than normal to express how hard his feet hit the ground when he is running. The lights are flickering and that later means the thing that is chasing him/someone else. They use the loud music in many different movies. Not only do they use music they use different camera angles to show different perspectives and to make it more
When the film begins, the audience is immediately thrown into a violent, disorienting confrontation between the head gang member and the son. This rapid pace sets the tone for the entire plotline and grabs the viewer’s attention. The director also juxtaposes quickly paced and slow developing scenes in order to establish the tension between peace and violence that persists throughout the film. Ellis also employs sound as a clever tool to express dramatic tension. When the father finally decides to leave his house and confront the gang, his car alarm goes off.
Authors, readers, and those in literary circles use the term 'genre' to classify the different modes of expression used in individual works of literature. The importance of this term can most easily be understood when examining the human tendency to classify the majority of items in our society. When examining literature, using the term 'genre' can be tricky. For example, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley can be categorized as a Gothic novel. However, this work also has elements of a Supernatural Story and a Horror novel. Therefore, with all of the various genres that overlap or bleed into others, pigeonholing a particular novel into one genre can sometimes be impossible.
In this scene Gerry’s adventure takes him to W.H.O which is a science lab that may have the cure for the virus that has plagued the rest of the world. Gerry’s plane crashes and he wakes up a few miles from the science lab, and as he walks to the lab Gerry passes out from the injuries he received from the plane crash. When Gary wakes up he is accompanied by scientist that he has to convince that he is working for the United Nations. After Gerry convinces them he tells them that he has to get to the Wing B part of the lab which is full of the virus spreading mindless zombies. Why? The cure to save the world is in that Wing. As Gerry is walking through the wing he stays silent as he does not want to attract any unwanted attention, but as soon as he opens the door…it creeks and the race is on. Gerry bolts down the hallway into the lab where the cure was thought to be he locks himself in the lab, and right as he locks the door the scientist that infected all of Wing B slammed into the glass door not breaking it. Gerry looks for through all of the test tubes trying to find the right one, and when he finds it he knows that the only way he is getting out of Wing B is that he has to inject himself with the blood sample. Once Gerry finds the sample he opens the door and lets the scientist zombie come face to face with him. The zombie’s teeth was clicking as he was ready to devour Gerry’s face, but he didn’t and Gerry got
