Electronic Sound in Film

Sound of Cinema - New Frontiers; is a BBC documentary that follows the way that scores have been created over the last 60 years. A large part of it is to do with how electronic sounds replaced the traditional orchestra. An early use of this was the Theremin; an early electronic instrument that was controlled without an physical touch of the performer. In Alfred Hitchcock's film spellbound, it was used to create tension and to reflect the protagonists distress. I found this interesting as the theremin is a very minimalist piece of equipment, but has such a massive effect on the score of this film. This has given my a few ideas as to how I could use electronic devices in our film and perhaps distort them to create uncomfortable sounds and to reflect the distress of our very own protagonist.  

Alfred Hitchcock is someone that liked to use sound in his films as a way to make the audience uncomfortable, he is somebody that I can take a lot of inspiration from as we want to make our film very uncomfortable through the sound design. In The Birds the sound of the birds is horrific and creates a sense of terror, I want to create a sense of terror in our opening scenes so that the audience has an idea of what is to come. 
I want the sense of terror to be created through electronic and industrial sounds, I want to do this by distorting the sounds and using techniques such as playing sounds backwards.
