Lo: to explore the use of sound in films.


Describe the sort of music you would expect to hear in the following types of film.

1. A horror film

I would expect to hear low, creepy and suspenseful  music in a horror film.

2. An action film

I would expect quite fast and suspenseful music in an action film.

3.  A thriller

Similar music to a horror but less creepy.

4.  A comedy film

I would expect to hear pop music in a comedy film.

5. A science fiction film

Electronic music.

Diegetic sounds- You can hear the characters talking, the rain and splashing.

Non diegetic sounds- the music that makes it more suspenseful and the sound effects that are used when pennywise moves.


Is there music in the scene? There is music in the scene.

How does the music make you feel? Like something is about to happen.

When do you hear the music or sound change? Sometimes when pennywise moves there are creepy sound effects.

If you listen to the sounds without looking at the pictures can you still tell what is going on? Yes because of what the characters are saying and because of the sound effects.

Are there any moments of silence? There are a few moments of silence which makes it more suspenseful.

Do any of the characters speak? What do they sound like? They both speak and Georgie sound like a child and Pennywise has a very creepy voice.

Can you hear any sound effects? Yes.

Are there any sounds that were made louder than they would be in real life? The rain and the characters movements sound louder than they would be in real life.


The Foley artist would have to replicate the sounds of the door opening and closing, the characters moving, the dog barking and running around, the tv in the background and the rest of the background noises.

  1. Well done Molly - you clearly understand the difference between diegetic and non-diegetic sound.
