Ideas for Non-Diegetic Sound

For horror and thriller films the use of sound is integral for creating suspense and tension - so we have researched non-copyrighted sound to edit and use to create atmosphere.  We need to have some high suspended notes - which are conventional as they inform the audience of impending danger.  We also need some louder dramatic sounds for impact when the characters or audience become aware of the danger.

This video has a range of different sounds in it. I do not like the sound in the first minuter or so as it does not create any tension and its not very thrilling. It is quite boring and slow, there is nothing really that grips you to get you worried in the film. But when we get to 1 minute and 12 seconds this all changes. This is the part i would like top use as non - diegetic sound. This is because it creates a lot of suspense as it goes from a really high pitched note to a dramatic thud. This creates a lot of tension in the film.

Straight away i really liked this clip. This will definitely be a good sound to include in my film. This is because the music is quite spooky. This creates a lot of tension as it makes you feel as though something bad is going to happen. You hear this sound in a lot of horror movies so you could say it is a cliche. I would only intend on using the first 2 minutes of this soundtrack clip because after 2 minutes it goes onto a different sound that does not create any tension or suspense and is not the kind of sound we are looking for. It can also tie into the first clip as we can crop the sound and add the big thud in. This will make it sound like we have created out own soundtrack.
