Without sound, or at least without good quality sound, any movie could be an unpleasant experience to watch. In order for your film opening to be complete, you need to make sure your sound is as good as it can be: the voices of actors are well heard, all sounds are synchronised and any particular ones are emphasised if needed.
FOLEY
At this stage you can also recreate sounds if needed - for example footsteps, breaking something, using props, breath of a character if it needs to be well heard to emphasise his/her state of mind, etc. Take inspiration from foley artists and create some sounds yourself.
MUSIC
Then, you can also look online for sounds and music you need.
In the end, after gathering all the sounds you need, reflect and analyse:
- Why are those appropriate for the genre of the film and the shots you have?
Add them to your raw montage and see how your film opening becomes more alive.
