Sound



My opening is going to only contain non-diagetic sound. This is partly because my filming location is a generally busy and therefore loud part of Hackney and it would be near impossible to get perfect sound quality with my resources. my other reason is that the song I have chosen (Spiders and Vinegaroons by Queens Of The Stone Age - the top video) is an instrumental that generates an eerie feel. This will be playing as the main action of the scene happens with the characters. After, as the title sequence is playing, I have chosen to use an extract from Bring Me The Horizon song "Crucify Me" (the bottom song) for two reasons. The first is the title; vampires are repelled by religious paraphernalia, including crucifixes. The second reason is that the extract repeats the lines "There is a hell believe me I've seen it, there is a heaven let's keep it a secret" over and over in a ghostly, choir-like way. As vampires are said to be the children of the Devil, I think that this extract fits in with my theme and genre perfectly.
