Sound Effects Gathered: 

In our short film, we added a many sound effects to make it engaging to audiences in its watchtime. Adding the sound effects was important to our short film as it helps keep the viewers drawn into watching the short film. The sound effects help convey a message to the viewers and helps create certain emotions in them. We put in ominous and creepy music to make the atmosphere feel unsettling and creepy. This will make the viewers feel unnerved and on edge whilst watching our short film as they would not know what to expect. Some audio effects are louder than others to catch the viewers by surprise and startle them like a typical horror movie. For example, in Friend 1's death scene we had a loud scream sound effect when before the scene was silent. The sudden loud noise would capture the viewer by surprise. The sounds we added in our short film were diegetic. For example, when the main character gets a phone alert notification or the birds are chirping outside it is diegetic as it is happening on the scene and the main character is responding to it. Another time we added it was when the second Friend got shot. The second friend is shot and the main character responds to this and is horrified.
