Sense of Space Inspiration

Inspiration never really came from anything specific.. in other words the inspiration I had was gathered from a wide-range of external sources. From movies, to radio sound-clips, games and everyday sounds in real life.

Sat on the train and closing my eyes whilst on a journey ironically opened my eyes to the sounds in our every day world; subtle background laughter that can be heard from the other end of the carriage, the subtle back and forth movement of the train as it sways on the tracks and the sound of a fast train approaching and swooshing past me with it's horn.

Walking through town also opened up my eyes to potential sounds to form a log - The rain bouncing off the tarmac and a leaking drainpipe that drips on the floor creating an almost 'echoey' noise.

As for inspiration that may have influenced our final piece, I would say that 'cliche' horror movies such as 'Scream' (1996) directed by Wes Craven and 'The Ring'(2002) directed by Gore Verbinski

These two movies offer some of the most well-known sounds that are associated with horror/thriller movies. They use soundtracks and sound effects to convey tension, atmosphere and fear.

Knocks at the door, phones ringing, creaking doors and unsettling voices are all juxtaposed together to create what is seen as an effective range of sounds.
