Sound

At first, we're only going to have quiet, diegetic sounds to set the scene, such as a police car and light traffic. We chose these sounds to show that he lives in an urban area, communicating the idea that he's an everyday, normal boy. We debated having music coming from outside of his room, suggesting that he lives in a block of flats, but decided that this might look as if he'd been woken up by the noise, whereas actually, he just wakes up due to his Autism and we felt that this miscommunication could mean that the audience doesn't understand that the character has a condition.

We're going to bring non-diegetic music in when the camera pans along t he table with the Airfix on it, to mark the moment and therefore suggest to the audience that the planes are vital to the storyline.

It will have a moderate beat and won't be quite beaty, most likely some percussion.

When the camera suspends before going into the computer screen, we're going to pause the music to heighten the suspense, apart from having one continuous note which will increase in volume until the 'second-half' of the thriller starts (when the camera goes into the computer screen) At this point, we're going to bring in faster paced, technological non-diegetic music to reinforce the idea of the thriller.

As one member of our group studies Music Tech, we're going to create our own sound using the equipment we have available.

A non-diegetic will be the only speech in the opening of our thriller and we're going to use Bob Getty because he has an American accent- we want to change the boy's nationality to American because it's more relevent to 9/11.
