Hellooo everyone! I hope you guys are having an amazing day and find this blog somewhat joyful and informative. I would like to share with you what the team and I are working on currently for our sounds. In today’s blog, I want to specifically talk about the clock ticking sound.
First things first...
Do we really need to waste our time on making this sound?
Will it be useful?
Of course.
The article 'Interstellar's' Ticking Clock: Hiding Suspense in Plain Sight talks about why a clock ticking sound is effective and the difference it makes on for example the movie Interstellar. V Renee states that this sound is the best sound to use to ramp up tension. The article links to a Youtube video that talks about how Interstellar uses ticking sound to shape up the audiences’ emotions which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=256&v=mWPenJNSPso
The video talks about how the ticking sound appears to make a more intense atmosphere. In the video, it’s stated that the intensity of the ticking sound depends on the scene. For example, in the scene of the shooting in the film Dunkirk, the intensity of the clock sound is extremely high because certain things are happening on screen that the viewers don’t know what will happen next so they’re curious to keep watching which is also mentioned in the video. This is such an effective technique since you’re not filling up the viewer’s brain with words but are just using a simple sound to help people understand that this moment is very important and that time is running out. With a clever technique like this one, the team and I will be able to create tension which is part of our goals.Hellooo everyone!

How we’ll make it & our vision
We plan to make the clock ticking sound most likely with a pen or pencil. We tried this in class in different materials and we found out against the desk was the best to make it with. I know you guys might be thinking this will no come out as well as an actual clock sound. So I feel like you might be thinking for us to get this sound from the internet where we can just download it, however, where is the fun in that?! One of our main goals is to make a well-developed film opening with a lot of time and effort put into it. We are looking to challenge ourselves, use what we learned throughout the year, and reach our vast potential!
With that being said, get ready for what’s coming...
