Research and Planning: Sound effect practice

Today we watched this film trailer in class for 'Wrong turn'. We are using this trailer as inspiration to creating our own home made sound-effects. The sounds we took particular attention to were the echoing high pitched sounds. We found that we were able to recreate these particular sounds using wine glasses containing water. Here are some pictures of me and Pippa trying this out for ourselves.

 We found that the larger glasses made the deeper sounds which sounded similar to that on a horror trailer.

 Smaller glasses make high pitched sounds which remind me of the paranormal.

 Scraping a knife against another metal utensil such as a spatula creates a good sword swiping sound.

 Crunching paper or a plastic bag sounds similar to a burning fire.
