Today my media group and I arranged the sound effects and the music in the places that we needed it. We added diegetic and non- diegetic sounds to it. The diegetic sounds were the TV static that we added when the computer screen turns back on and says "YOU SHOUDN'T HAVE DONE THAT" with an appropriate creepy font. This creates a creepy and robotic effect to the sequence as if the character that wants to kill her is inside the computer and makes it obvious that he is controlling the computer. It also makes the sequence look professional.
We also decided to make the atmosphere more intense by adding the sound of a heartbeat. The sound of a heartbeat racing is often heard when a person is scared and the fact that it is dead silent in the room and we can hear it intensifies the setting and adds to the suspense, because the audience feels like they are the character as they can hear the heartbeat so clearly.
We added non-diegetic music in the background. The violins also add to the suspense and the feeling of fear that the character might be experiencing at that moment. We also removed the violins for the last part of the sequence as silence is the most important sound that can be used for a psychological horror because the audience feel like they are alone in that room and expect something bad to happen and by adding silence it feels like the moment is longer than it actually is so it adds to the anticipation.
