First of all I want you to watch this video, without reading further down.
Watch it in fullscreen too, please.
Ok.
Now tell me, how did you feel watching this?
What I feel is happening, is that we see how angry the wolf is, and the music goes into high-pitched violins that keep raising one tone at a time, and all this is tricking our brain into thinking something is going to happen, while nothing does...
And when it's all over you sit there with an empty feeling, like you didn't get the fear or shock released as you wanted.
Do you know any videos like this one, with moments of nothing?
I'd really like to recreate this in a game, like Amnesia, so got any tips on that?
What I think is important is:
Something fearful, yet calm. Creature/Object.
Suspending music.
And at last, calm music, to let you know that there was nothing...
Anything else important?
You opinion is valued!
