Sound Palette

  • Voicemail message recording which will be used over the opening shot tracking through the building. There will be various voicemail messages all giving an insight into the protagonists life.
  • 1930's jazz music might be used when the protagonist is exploring the basement, he could turn a radio/put a cassette in a tape player. This music will juxtapose the confusing and frightening atmosphere the protagonist has found himself in.
  • White noise a sound similar to this might be integrated into the jazz music to emphasise the characters disorientation.

Location Scouting














Hastings is home to many antique/vintage warehouses, one of which is shown above, and would be the ideal setting for our film opening.
