Woman in Black Sounds

(Molly Hetherington)
As well as the previous analysis of the opening titles we then went on to focus on the sound that is portrayed further on in the film. We wanted to focus on the sound because we wanted to see what message it portrayed. As the scene played we focused only on what we could hear and wrote down our thoughts individually.

We felt that this build tension more as we were unaware of what was going on. However it gave us a huge insight as to dangers and how important sound is to any movie.

The fire scene was a particular example of this. The volume increased suggesting that the level of danger was also. Gradually increasing the suspense and tension especially as we could not see what was fully going on we could only assume. These sounds made us feel like we were apart of it being in the same position as the characters, helpless. The noise of fire and realisation of it quickly turns the mood of the audience knowing the consequences and danger that come with it. The louder it gets the more fierce it is as well as the higher level of danger suggesting a lower survival rate. These sounds closely relate to a horror film.
