Soundtrack ideas and influences

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d1Vck6IX3s&list=PLgpWRQLtXHqm3w5MDwmE-cYutmSlHmPZC - THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT - my film has been greatly influenced by 'The Blair Witch Project', so its soundtrack is also a useful influence to help create the soundtrack for my film. This low and grave sound can be used to fill in any silences, creating an unsettling feeling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQJlQeJr1Q8 - SINISTER - this horror film surrounds the idea of  the main character watching family murders on video tapes. This soundtrack is the ominous sound of the video tapes in action. This is relevant for my film, because my film is about a family murder in a house.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6lQMPE6MVE&list=PLkLimRXN6NKzmGIuIKJE6Vmtpqc_q2DKu - IT - the creepy sound of young children singing and talking, a typical sinister sound used to make horror films scarier - and could be used for emphasis in my film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeXVybxreOk&list=PLpU--n1PWn-ruwUClqG46dCxRz_LyAenE&index=5 - THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET - the title of this horror film is relevant to the theme of my short film, so this soundtrack is influential on my soundtrack to create the same creepy/daunting feeling.

'THE OPERATOR' SHORT FILM

'THE OPERATOR' SHORT FILM Sound and editing are used effectively in this short film. At the beginning, the diegetic sound of the emergency service operator's voices overlap each other which creates an atmospheric feeling as we watch the film. The average shot length is long which makes us as an audience focus on the voices of the operator and Gemma, who is stuck in a house fire with her three year old son. If jump cuts were used, it would be harder to focus on their voices because we would have more of a visual distraction on screen. Close ups on the operator's face create a sense of intimacy and tension, as well as the continuous stress we feel and share as audience members, waiting for the firemen to arrive; for the whole five minutes, we are focussed on the face of one character and one situation with a panicked character on the other end of the phone - the fact that we can't actually see what is happening means we have to concentrate more on sound.

Research into target audience

My target audience is an audience of the age of the characters in my short film; the film is directed at teenagers. My film consists of elements similar to the Blair Witch Project ; a film about three film students who travel to a small town to collect documentary footage about the Blair Witch. Their film footage is found, and the film consists of the audience watching their footage. The film makers used social media to access their target audience. 67% of social media users are 18-29, therefore social media is a good place to advertise this film. My film is more light hearted and less scary than the Blair Witch Project , and the element of horror only really comes in at the end, therefore people who would probably be interested in my film would be of the age between 13-18.
