Sound

I dont know what sound we are using in our film (like background music). We are going to do that after we have done our film opening. we will deffenetly do that research after! We will deside as a group. I have already done some research into post apocalyptic music, by doing this i have found some tracks i particually like. However as it is a group desision in what track we use, we will have to look into a larger variaty of backing trackes to have everyone satisfied.

In terms of sound in our film opening with our script. we will be using a zoom mic as this will pic up our sound alot more clear than just using the mic on the camera. This being at a higher quality is exactly what we need to make a good film opening. Also because the camera picks up sound it will make it easyer for us to edit our sound from the zoom mic to our film in perfect time.

As a team me have desided not to use the old radio in our film opening, this was one of our ideas at the start of the project. We didm't think this was a good idea in the end for a few reasons. One is that it was many other groups ideas too and we did not want anything simular to what other groups had. Another reason is that we thought with a backing track and a script in it it mite be abit over loaded and harder to make it sound really good.

post apocaliptic music

Ive gone through a few post apocaliptic music tracks and i picked the two i liked the most.




I like this one becaus it starts of really slow and then starts to get lively. i like this music as it really has that sound of a new adventure beguining and it sounds interestiong. i also think it makes the listener feel like something terrible has happened with the babys crys and the slower and calmer sad music in the back ground. However when it starts to get a beat behind it, it starts to make the listener think some action and adventure is going to happen.



I picked this one as well as because i like the pianos and the violins and basses, i think it creates a really good post apocalyptic feel of hope and slight adventure. makes the listener feel like things are going to get better. however makes them feel at the same time that something horrible has happened. i think this one is my favorite out off the two.





I added this one in as we as a team was thinking about doing a little clip a while ago using old radio. we may be able to incorperate it or we may not. Either way i thought it would be quite nice to add in just in case as i personally think it is quite interesting to listen to and does fit in withe the genre that we have picked.

Sound design

 The definition of  Sound design is the process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio things. It is used in filmmaking, television production, theatre, sound recording and reproduction, live performance, sound art, post-production, and video game software. Sound design most commonly involves the manipulation of previously composed or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue. it is also used to create a particular effect or mood. A sound designer is the person who practices the art of sound design. In film you may have more than one sound designer working on one movie, this is to create perfect sound design as one person may thing things a perfect, however if there is more than one sound designer the film would be the best it can be in terms of sound design.

In films, a Sound Designer is a member of a film crew responsible for some original aspect of the film's audio. The original meaning of the title Sound Designer, as established by Coppola and Murch, was "an individual ultimately responsible for all aspects of a film's audio track, from the dialogue and sound effects recording to the re-recording  of the final track".

The sound designer is a important  member of the production staff, with creative authority equal to the film editor and director of photography.
