As our thriller is a psychological one, the main character Rae frequently hears her own thoughts. to get an idea of what should be going through her tormented mind, we watched a few youtube clips of people hearing voices. However the ones Alex and I watched didn't really give us an idea of what she should be hearing until our media teacher suggested that we watched the clip from the 1976 thriller movie 'Carrie'. We watched the scene where Carrie was at prom and she got some form of blood poured all over her and her inner thoughts (voices) were replayed over and over to represent her mental torment. Myself and Alex used a sound recorder and recorded Alex reciting certain lines from the script and some improvisation. We will use this audio over our video to give the impression that the thoughts are coming from Rae.
At the start of the lesson, we asked some of our friends and the rest of our media group to laugh into the sound recorder's microphone. We will use this audio to create the same effect as the dialogue Alex and I recorded. However this audio will only be included in the scenes where we are flashing back to Rae's school days.
Whilst Alex and myself were recording the spoken dialogue, Adam and Scott stayed in the media room and compiled all of the audio we had collected together on a programme called Mixcraft. Mixcraft allows us to layer the sounds to get the effect we want.
Here is the link for the 'Carrie' clip we used to get inspiration from:
