Soundtrack
The scene starts with the sound of electronics, this is so that what they are doing seems more true to life. It then has some dialogue which helps to set the scene and inform the audience of what they are doing.
Soundtrack
At about 1:05 there is a high pitch 'screechy' noise that plays in the background for a few seconds, getting louder, this gives a sense of danger and mystery and helps to add tension to the scene. When the character starts to count down there is a note after every number, as he is counting down the note is getting louder and more dramatic, this also adds to the tension and emphasises the sense of danger. The sound of the light flickering also gets louder and faster which help build up suspense.
When the counting finishes there is an exaggerated sound of violins and then, as the woman opens her eyes, the music cuts out and there is a second of silence. This makes the woman seem vulnerable and helps build tension.
When the woman hears the children crying in the room the music gets louder and very intense, this adds to the effect of screaming and crying and gives the scene a powerful and extravagant effect.
Sound effects
- Sound of camera zooming in and out
- Foot steps
- Creaking floor boards
- Crisp sound of the pencil on paper
- 'Buzzing' and 'screeching' of the radio
- Light flicker
All these sound effects help to make the scene feel and sound as real as possible and many of them also help to add to the effect of tension and they are rich, strong sounds that build up tension and mystery.
Dialogue
The woman who was being put in the regression had a quiet and innocent voice, this helped to portray and emphasise her vulnerability.
You could hear the children crying and screaming. This had a better effect than if the woman was describing what she could hear because it made it seem more real and also created suspense.
