Influences On Our Short Film

Sound And Music

The Ominous Knocking 

In our film there is large use of knocking coming from an unknown source. This is also used in the film Strangers where a couple are staying at an isolated holiday cabin when knock is heard at the door in the early hours of the morning. The inspiration for Stangers was stories of people knocking on doors at night and if anyone asnwer the house is left alone but if no one answers the house robbed. Starngers turns this on its head making it so that if someone answers the door the people who then rob and torture/murder anyone inside. 


The Harsh Soundtrack

For our film we want to use an harsh violin soundtrack similar to the famous music used in Psycho for the shower scene. The music makes the scene tense and builds anticipation for what's going to happen to the vulnerable woman in the shower, it also helps the horror of the scene as the woman is killled with the screech of the violin with every stab into the woman. 


The Theme Tune 

The theme song of Comedie Horror tend to take different routes to what is used, some go for songs that relate to the film, some go for the comedy songs to keep the humour going once the credits are rolling and some go for the Rock or Metal route that can fit with the genre of the film well. A Rock theme or something similar is what we want to use for our short film as we think it will fit well with our film, something maybe of the Pop Punk genre would probably fit best with our film.
