Scapegoat opening sequence

 



This opening sequence of scapegoat sound is quite simple but very effective at the same time. But this is diegetic sound and it links with what is going on in the the image. In the beginning when the character walks and then walks fast, they use static sound which has an effect which is a bit mysterious. And what also makes it mysterious is that they use wind noises that emphasises the loneliness that hes alone and everyone around him is not alive and gone. I love this sound because i think it is very creepy and suits what is shown to us in the opening credit. Also when we are shown the dead bodies, a bang sound is made which has an effect that it is a important part of the credit sequence. From the beginning of the credit sequence and to the middle and when it shows the bodies, it builds up the tension in me and it makes me think what is going to happen next. When it does show the bodies and the way it flickers fast and cuts to the face and body of the persons body it  makes it kind of uncomfortable for me to watch. Also at the end when it shows few people and a really quick turning of the face and the sound of peoples voices which is kind of non-diegetic makes me react fast and think fast about what is going on. And when they use the bang sound at the end and shows the characters face gives me a jump which is also effective and lets us know that it is scary. I really like this opening credits because the way the not just the sound but the credits and image fit well together and flows very well. The music is kind of not normal, sort of disorted which i like because it makes it more sure of the genre and keeps me building tension throughout the whole clip. I would really like to use this idea of kind of disorted and simple sounds to our opening sequence as our sequence is kind of simple as well. And i would also love to use the static sound for the flashabacks and also the credits.
