Audio

 For our opening, sound will be a crucial element in generating suspense and setting the thriller-action mood. To accomplish this, we plan on making it straightforward yet effective.

We'll use foley sounds like footsteps on concrete, a creaking door, and clothing rustling to make the scenes realistic. These can be achieved using what we have, e.g., shoes on a hard floor or slowly opening a squeaky door.

For background, let's include ambient sound to fit the gloomy basement atmosphere—perhaps the drizzle of water, subdued humming from a light bulb, or muffled echoes. It won't be excessively loud, but just a little in order to produce a creepy atmosphere.

We’ll also include action music—something with a steady beat that builds tension as the scene unfolds. The music will start quietly but pick up as things get more intense, helping create a sense of danger and urgency.

To add extra suspense, we’ll use silence too—muting the music or background sounds at key moments to make the audience hold their breath right before something happens.
