Planning my Audio

 When working on my piece, I will include mainly dialogue. At the very beginning, I plan to include non-diegetic audio to gently establish the beginning and unease as the character is at work and comes home. I'm also going to incorporate a bit of foley sounds in the piece. These sounds will be used to model things like: creaking of door and floorboards, footsteps on the floor, & the sound of the umbrella opening. 


While the main character is walking through the house, I will be having suspenseful music in the scene. This helps me play my trick on the audience, and make them think that this a thriller rather than a lighthearted comedy. Once the character discovers the intruder, the music in the scene will switch to a score with a more lighthearted sense, and then close when the dialogue starts. 


My dialogue will create a dynamic which mirrors the friendship that my actors already have. This will help the scene feel much more natural. I'll incorporate things like laughter to add to the tone I'm trying to create. 


Overall, I want to make the audience become immersed into the experiences and the life of the character. I'll be sure to use my non-diegetic audio cautiously so it makes the scene seem more genuine rather than reduce the authenticity.
