Sound

The use of sound in our production plays a vital role in developing the vibe, atmosphere, and emotional depth.

In our bully's room, we can primarily use diegetic sound. For example, we will have an alarm clock going off when our character wakes up, immediately adding sound from his every day life. We can also include muffled sounds of the parents arguing, provides a clue to the audience about his tough home life, foreshadowing the later party of the film. The other use of diegetic sound will be at the end, with the banging on his door, representing the character's freight and vulnerability.

Non-diegetic sound, which is sound that is not from the character's world, will also be used in our production. A slow song can plat while he is picking out his hoodie to wear and when he is covering his bruises, showing his inner pain. While he is driving to school, in the POV shot when he is driving to school, we can shift the score to a more unsettling audio, representing how his life quickly changes around other people. 


However, silence can also be used effectively. For example, when the camera cuts to black after the door swings open, this can be used to add more meaning to our shot. This choice greatly increases the amount of shock and leaves the audience on a cliffhanger, making them eager to know what happens next. 

These sound elements all come together to create a emotionally deep film that pulls viewers in to our bully's complicated life.

A sound similar to want we want to add,
aggressive door knocking.
