Sound Effects

In our opening sequence we used a lot of different sounds, diegetic and non-diegetic.

We used three non-diegetic music tracks over our sequence to add to the atmosphere at the time. One spooky (Which added tension to the sequence), one up beat (when there was action) and another more calm (after everything had been resolved). These all happen at key parts of the open sequence.

We mostly used diegetic sounds such as blood hits, gun shots, contact hits and zombie noises. These add to the realism of the film and make a much better impact to the audience. These had to be added in at the right time otherwise it wouldn't give a good effect, in fact it would give the complete opposite.

To get the right sounds it took a while searching around on the Internet for royalty free sounds. After searching for a long time we found some decent gun noises to add.

Peter did the zombie noises himself by using a programme at home where he could record his voice using audacity, and made zombie like noises. He tried to get as near as he could to the sound of the zombies from 28 days later.
