As we're filming and editing, we're realizing that we need to start thinking about sound. We're greatly inspired by the movie Scream because the opening starts calmly and gradually becomes more intense, until the music comes in and makes the audience uncomfortable while the scene gets extreme.
We plan to do something similar in that once the couple gets into the car, the eerie music starts playing. It'll start gradually, pick up with time, and end with a bang that's synced to when the victim's blood splatters on the car window.
I found this website that has a bunch of options for eerie sounds that are royalty free, so we don't have to worry about copyright, which makes our lives a whole lot easier.
We chose the sound "Welcome to HorrorLand" because it has that high pitched, unnerving sound we were looking for, and it starts off slowly and builds, which is perfect for the murder scene because it starts out as a couple making out and ends in the girl brutally murdering her boyfriend. The gradual growing intensity will add suspense and leave the audience wondering what's going to happen and when it's going to happen.
We want a sudden, climactic high-pitched sound that will synchronize with the shot of the blood hitting the window that will make the visual even more intense, but haven't yet found a sound that we see fits. We're going to continue looking, but we might just create the sound ourselves.
