Create and record appropriate sound accompaniment for a video production

Lets start with my own pre-recorded digetic sound:

Number-1: Knock Knock.

Tools used:

Cross tour Go Pro (with a built-in condensor microphone.

Video pad video editor ( to cut and refine audio recordings)

Purpose:

My goal of recording a knocking sound on a table was to simulate the audio sound of someone or something violently knocking on the door. As in many typical horror movies tend to have the the stereotypical loud banging sound in their videos. This is specifically used intentionally to add tension, drama and suspense to scene and that's the exact same principle i am trying to achieve. Audiences usually freak out and twist their faces at the sound of anything remotely loud or powerful, especially in a silent, suspenseful horror. Door knocks are classical way to allude the audience in a way as something which is supposed to be outside the door, when checked  isn't there. This is creepy and unnerving as the audience are hung in suspense to what might happen next.

Number-2: Scratching:

Tools used:

Cross tour Go Pro ( with built-in condenser microphone.)

Video pad video editor ( to cut and refine audio recordings)

Purpose:

I recorded this sound by running my nails across a scratchy, torn up wallpaper surface which creates that uneasy, dodgey/creepy sound that you hear. People's minds in-general hate unnatural/ uncanny sounds when it comes to audio. My goal was to create a super unsettling sound that is remanist to all the famous stereotypical demonic style audios that hear in films. E.g claw nails scratching on walls and flooring peeling off tiny little shreds of paint,paper etc. Also scratching/irritating sounds in general, always upset and twist the audience's mind. It's a bit like pulling your nails across an old chalkboard in school, that 'sound' the 'sound' that goes straight through people and makes them cringe and wine in discomfort, pain and fear. Simple sounds like these are the ones that sends shivering down the audience's spine and tickles them with sharp goosebumps. Overall this will psychologically disturb the audience. As sound is far more terrifying than visual gore or violence can ever be.

Number-3: Breathing:

Tolls used:

Cross tour Go pro ( With built-in condensor microphone.)

Video pad video editor (to cut and refine recordings)


Purpose:

My main aim with the this sound was to create a spooky and malicious sounding ghost breath. Much like in many stereotypical horror movies do. During usually paranormal/supernatural horror films, the sound is employed to provoke goosebumps and run shivers down people's spines. Audience usually find this type of effect to be the scariest as faintly heard whispers or breathing from within the darkness, is incredibly frightening. I used this recorded effect in my 14th ceuntey castle video as you can very faintly hear breathing throughout the video. Whilst it is mixed in with the TV static and ambient creepy music, really completes the sound/feel of the entire video. Also it generates and even more suspenseful and nerve racking scenario for the viewer. This is important as i wanted to show off not only my audio mixing/sampling skills of blending things to together, i also wanted to show that i can record and use 'one' of my own digetic sounds within the video as well. Not just sampling royalty free ones from the internant all the time.
