P: Sound


 As I continued my research on Sound associating with horror i came across an interesting question which i thought was worth sharing.

 The video you can see above... did we implement these instruments in horror/thriller movies because we find the noise unnerving. Or do we find the sounds unnerving because we associate these sounds with the horror genre? 
This made me think as these certain sounds alone would may not have such an scary impact on us if it wasn't for the association with the scary moving image. However, these sounds are strange which really can't be related to anything realistic so It may be the issue that the enigma comes from the unknown of the sounds which highlights the enigma in the scenes.
 Relating to Sakkaku, we have no dialogue and the flashback scenes are silent. So sound has a huge impact on our production as this will allow us to use sound to our fullest ability as the enigma will not only come from the scenes but the sound. Sounds like synthesisers keys and bells may give off an eerie and unsettling feeling as when we hear these sounds it rings our ears which can make use more terrified when seeing a scene build along with the sound. Furthermore, discussing the issue of these sounds being associated with horror, it is very conventional to have these sounds so when the audience hears these certain sounds they would already figured that it is a horror and something in the scene will happen.
