Potential Sound Effects to Use in My Trailers for 'Se7en Devils'


Alongside non-diegetic music, many of the horror film trailers I have looked at also included amplified sound effects, pleonastic sounds to make the audience jump or impact sounds used at 'jump scare' moments. I have some ideas about possible sound effects that I may want to use in my teaser trailer and TV spot:

  • During the establishing shots of the town - sinister crows, ambient nature sounds 
  • With the reveal of the 'Seven Devils' sign - impact sound 
  • Shots outside the suburban house - rainfall, thunder
  • Inside the house - muffled rain sound, muffled thunder crack 
  • Shots of other characters - drawer opening, switching on and off a torch 
  • Shots of building- heartbeat, sinister whispers
  • The final shot of the 'monster' - impact sound
