Non-diegetic sounds/ music for the wedding section:
With an aim to experiment with mixing together sounds for the church/wedding section, I have downloaded a selection of sounds from Freesound.org, including sounds of wedding church bells, church bells chiming, footsteps, screaming, champagne glasses clinking, birds tweeting, group chatter and laughter. I then compiled the most suitable sounds onto Garage Band to create a mock-up of the non-diegetic sounds we will use. I then transferred the track onto iMovie and added images from Google that were similar to the shots we are going to use/film; so I could show my group my ideas of how all the sounds would tie in with the visuals.
The sequence begins with wedding church bells, also I overlaid sounds of nature/birds tweeting in order to create an atmosphere and the feeling of the outside. I then added sounds of the guests cheering to co-inside with the bride and groom walking out of the church; as well as an ongoing track of people talking to create the ambience of guests surrounding the newly-weds. After I used a sound of glasses clinking together to match the visual of the champagne glasses. I then faded out the wedding bells using the transition of someone making a toast with their glass. This is when the one-bell chime is introduced, with an aim to build up the tension leading up to the murder. Also I overlaid the sound of footsteps going up wooden stairs, which also builds up suspense. Then as the floorboard sound creaks, it indicates the top of the stairs (where the bride sees her husband holding a knife dripping with blood) and then the sound of a women screaming interrupts. Then the bold sound of the bell chimes and brings in the title screen on que.
The only sound I have not included is the dialogue of the guests, bride and groom; which is noticeable at the part leading up to the murder as it feels a bit empty.
