Research 10

Hello Blog!
In this blog I'll be covering some of the effects we will have to add to our film opening. In our shots taking place indoors in the house, we will need light dialogue in the background and television playing for white noise. These noises can be recorded naturally through the filming of the shot. These noises will emphasize the comfort of the scene by showing noises that emit comfort and familiarity.

Once transitioning to the flashback scene we will need a whooshing sound effect that will signal the transition. I have been searching on royalty free sites that provide sound effects for this. I settled on a sound effect i found on freesound.org. This sound effect adds drama while serving a purpose to signal the audience of change.

Other sound effects we will need is loud, gunshots and explosion noises of a war zone. I have found several YouTube videos matching these requirements that will effectively portray the war-zone. I can download these videos on mp3. through the link in the description.  These loud, harsh noises highly contrast the comforting noise of the firsts scenes. This will disrupt the audience, heighten their senses, and gain insight of the terrors of war.

We also decided that for the warzone scenes we will add a filter to change the coloring of the scenes. This is done to add drama and emphasize that these scenes are a flashback from the past. We will decide the filter later once we begin the editing stage.
