One of the key elements in any film, the sound. We looked at two different films Contact intro: earth, universe, space zoom out.
In this intro we slowly zoom out from earth with a radio in the background, then as we slowly move away the radio goes back in time but also the music gets louder as you move pass the planets. finally at the end there is nothing but silence. I really like this because it very unusual compared to most modern films but makes you realise there is no sound in space but technically radio waves can move though space therefore making this alien film very interesting from the start.
The second was the Lewton Bus: Cat people
I really like the way the sound is used in this because all you can hear at the start is foot steps then it begins to go very quiet as if something is going to happen as it builds up this atmosphere then you hear the echoes of another set of footsteps, which turn into a growling noise which audiences expect the cat to jump her but it was just the bus which is anticlimactic. This technique is really good to know and I'll properly use it in my film at the end.
