One important element of my short film I plan on putting a lot of detail into is the sound. There is nothing like eerie sound effects or even no sound at all that enhance the creepy tone of a film. Since i'm creating a psychological thriller mixed with a little bit of horror and mystery, the sound I create must facilitate the creepy mood of the story. According to Filmmaker Magazine, in order to build a suspenseful and scary atmosphere, sound is essential. For example, one tip they gave is to create sound off screen helps build fear because the audience hears something and they don't know where its coming from. Additionally from personal experience, I find it scary when horror movies have a few moments of no sound which is then followed by a lot of sound to enhance a jump scare or a view of something of screen.
