Two Minute Opening Sequence - Justified Revenge

Score Music Notes - (Completed by Jasmin Manjdadria)

We used non - diegetic music in the background to add to the atmosphere created by the mise-en-scene and cinematography. It created suspense which was initially what we planned to create with the acting. The sound was upbeat but slow which would puzzle the audience because we wanted to make them think that the killer was an innocent man; it emphasised this more as it is non-diegetic music heard only by the audience and not by the characters.
I also used sound effects such as 'loud banging' which is heard by the character, his response to this helps build up the enigma.

Although sound is effective for creating the atmosphere of the film, we used silence which had more effect on whether he was the antagonist or protagonist, as we wanted the audience to feel confused. The silence was also used during the phone conversation between 'Tony' and his daughter 'Angelina' to draw the audience's attention to what they were talking about. After the silence we used an sound effect for the title of the film (Justified Revenge); as the title would have an impact on the viewer.

Whilst filming we found that the diegetic ambience sound was perfect for the effect we wanted to create, such as the birds and wind in the background. Even when the actor Raj was walking on the stones on the floor we wanted to hear the noise of him walking to create the realism. It's important to create this realism as it makes the audience believe the fictional story is real and almost makes them feel like they are there observing the scene.

Originally we planned on using music all the way through but we used the silence of the shots to our advantage to create a realistic feel to the sequence.
