In scream I analysed sound shots throughout the film. There is all different types of sound depending on what film your watching, what part of the film your in and what genre it is. In a thriller film, sound is one of the key tools used to create suspense and convey drama, as the different types of sound connote different things to the audience.
The first sound I found was "off screen sound". It happened when the woman is on the phone and you can hear the voice from the person she's on the phone to. "off screen sound" is sound when you cannot hear where it is coming from. This informs the audience of the conversation between the woman and the killer.
The second sound I found was "parallel sound" this is when the man is getting stabbed with the knife you can hear the sound of the knife going into the man without seeing it. This informs the woman that her husband is dying. This creates fear for the audience hearing the man get butchered to death.
This analysis has taught me where sounds can be put in the thriller film and where you would use them in different situations. For example I know when a Non diegetic sound is used, when you want to use sound which is not part of the film world e.g. a soundtrack, sound effects and voiceovers.
You have identified the key terminology word well and you have also described the examples well too. However, you need to expand on the points that you are making on conventions and you need to discuss how this scene informs the audience of the thriller genre. This can be achieved by writing in the PEER format
