Screams

In the two minute opening the assault scene is implied and we were going to have music played over the top of the opening and we may have the church bells. However, I defiantly think we should include the woman screaming which we could do using an external microphone. I feel the scream should be placed in the opening when the assault scene is taking place and the camera could cut away of the road name 'Chapel Street' which is as seen on our preliminary exercise, if we did use this shot we would have to edit the shot using iMovie to darken the shot to make it seem like it is at night.

Another idea is to have a wide shot of the assault taking place and the scream can then be in that shot or we could include the scream to a cut away close up shot to the blood on the pavement and the blood will pour on to the pavement which represents death and it alerts the audience. The scream will dramatise the opening and it shows the victims fear. This is an example of a women screaming in which we could use.:

The Church Bells

This is the sound of Church Bells in which our group was thinking about including in our two minute opening:

The sound of the Church Bells would make the opening dramatic as the loudness of the bells is spine chilling and intimidating. The use of the church bells would fit in with the movie as there was the White Chapel Church near where the murders took place. The irony of the church bells which is leading up to the assault scene which is death and religion. The use of the bells could represent Jack the Ripper's feelings about the murders as he believed that he was right, it could be seen that he was playing the role of God as he decided when the victims will die, as Jack the Ripper was thought to be a surgeon and he helped save life's.
The Church Bells could be used when the victim is walking as there is juxtaposition as she has just finished her job as she is a prostitute and religion. The Church Bells will fade as the assault gets nearer as it will create tension and drama.

Footsteps and the Knife

Even though we decided that we will have music in our two minute film, we did consider having other sounds. We have to also think about the fact that our music may overpower the other sounds, so we would have to think about where to place the alternative sounds and when to lower the music.
These are the sounds that I have been considering adding.:

Footsteps

In one shot of our opening we have a close up of Jack the Ripper's feet which shows that he is going to go after the victim. I have been thinking that we should develop the music, such as a piano could be playing in the opening which gives a feeling of the film being tranquil and that the victim feels safe. Then the noise of the footsteps will alert the audience to danger. If we do decide to use footsteps it will not have to be that loud in the beginning. However, the noise will have to continue as the victim is walking but the music will also be developing maybe in to violins. This will be a slight problem that we will have to think about.

Knife

We have a quick shot of the assault scene and Jack the Ripper picking up the knife, so the knife sound will not suit this particular part of the opening. However, the knife sound may suit the newspaper flashes and the quick flashes which implies the murder. However, I do not know how we could make a stabbing noise, if it would suit the story at that point of the story and if the music develops how the sound could overpower the music. As all of the anticipation is leading up to the murder in the opening if the sound will be effective or if the music is better for the opening.
