Sound Changes

We noted the feedback that our tutor gave us about the sound of our film. She suggested that our film should have more original sound that we created ourselves. The majority of the sound on our film was not original, meaning that it was not as effective as possible. Leanne, the sound editor of the group, then made the final decision to edit the sound to ensure that it was original sound which we had created ourselves. We went back to our original idea of using GarageBand to create the own film for our production. The music that we used which we found on the internet did not entirely match the visuals as we did not create it ourselves. This would mean that we would have more control over the sound - meaning that it would match our visuals more effectively. We decided to create sound for the dance sequence of our film as the original footage did not match it entirely. However, we wanted to make it roughly match the original footage. Because of this, we decided to rely heavily on piano music. We tried to use violins in GarageBand, but all of the different violin sounds did not match the visuals on screen. We used 'Delicate Piano 01' as a starter. The music was quite repetitive, which I thought was effective as it showed the struggles that Sophie faced upon trying to be a successful dancer. We then added 'Emotional Piano 05' to the end of the sequence, which added a more dramatic sound at the end of the sequence. This matches the visuals which took place within the original sound which we used previously. This appropriately portrayed the struggles of Sophie's lifestyle. We then replaced the sound at the end of the film with this new sound to ensure that our film all links together. We decided to keep the sound over the nature scene as it was mixed by ourselves and featured a lot of ambient sound.
