The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Riser sound effect, pitch and density climbing for three seconds, cutting off abruptly at the peak, followed by a very short silence. An underground parking garage: a woman, car keys in hand, walks step by step toward her car as the lights behind her go out one by one and the riser grows shriller; the instant she opens the car door, the sound stops dead. 5 seconds, a crisp silence at the end.

Common pitfalls

Risers all over the film lose their tension.
No landing point, so it keeps rising and never ends.

Parameter tips

It must really stop; leave 0.3 to 0.5 s of silence after it lands.
