Audio

    I think of the sound in this opening as another sign about who the killer is when I plan it. I want it to be quiet in the room so that small sounds stand out. The news report about the murder is the main sound because it tells the story. The reporter's voice takes up the room, and everything else stays quiet. That contrast helps you see the details. I also want natural sounds in the background, like city noise in the distance or a small sound from the background, so the scene doesn't feel empty. They make the room feel real. I don't want the music to be too loud. The background music is supposed to increase the suspense and make the pictures to stand out.

    I am still looking for the right main audio track, which is one of the hardest parts. I have heard a few choices, but none of them fully capture the mood I want. I want something creepy and quiet that builds tension without taking over the scene. The sound should blend in with the TV voice and room tone, not clash with them.I'm going to keep putting ideas to the test against the images until I find a track that fits with the opening's pace and mood.
