Independent Research

My documentary will be the study about the effect of sounds and/or music (the soundtrack) in horror films. It will reveal how this can imply different meanings, set the mood and control the viewers’ feelings throughout a film, making the director have complete control over the emotional resonance felt in the audience. The case studies which will help me to analyze and support my theory will be “The Exorcist” (1973) and “Psycho” (1960), both of which are widely recognized as classic horror films and contain powerful and shocking sounds and music.
