Can you tell what the sound is? Do you like it, if so why/why not?

I can tell what the sounds are, the sounds of the door in specific creaking was my favourite one due to

how clear it was, however the microphone sometimes doesn’t pick up every pitch like the sound of music

playing through a headphone doesn't come through clearly and they should have taken more takes or used

another microphone or even a phone to record the audio. 

Looking at the script/brief, how accurate do you think this sound will be to create a tense atmosphere? 

I think the sounds of the door, music and clicking do well in establishing the tension and also establishes that

the character is oblivious as he cant hear, therefore when the sound is inevitably used it can raise tension

for the scene as it is a payoff to a risk within the film. 

Do the sounds fit in with the genre? If so why/why not

The sounds do fit in with the genre and the place of the movie as teenagers are the focus point of the

characters and the music playing create an ignorance, the brief also says that it is a lead off a quiet place

and in a quiet place the name alone suggests that silence is key and therefore introducing diegetic music allows

for the audience to understand inherent risk. 

Do they help create meaning and are the sounds suitable for the scene/shot?

 The sound effects are suitable for the enclosed quiet studying student, however they are used in order to fill

space and to keep the audience distracted from the appearance of a threat. 

What post-production techniques could make this better?

Techniques like surround reverb would allow for the scene to have extra depth as the sound would sound

more evil and as a greater threat, specifically the clicking, it would sound like a monster rather than another

human or just a teacher coming into the classroom.
