PLANNING: SOUND

SOUND

Diegetic sounds

We plan to make all the sound for the video ourselves. For the diegetic sounds we will include a use of dialogue in the film and the sound effects present from objects you can see, for example this might be a smashing window or a character panting. We may re-dub some of the sounds in Logic Pro 9 which is advanced music editing software in order to maximise the effect of those sounds.

Non-Diegetic Sounds

We will make all these sounds ourselves again. We will use Logic Pro 9 to edit sounds, record our own samples and manipulate sounds we use from copyright-free sample packs. We can add reverb, distortion and other effects to make them suit the mood and at the same time provide the desired atmosphere. For example we could add lots of reverb to a pen hitting a cup to give a spacey, eerie feel to the setting,

Soundtrack

We will make the soundtrack on Logic Pro 9 using plugins, effects units and samplers. This allows us to have the freedom of matching the piece perfectly to the trailer, changing it wherever we want. We can also change the key, change chords and add notes whenever in order to correspond with the scenes on screen and level of energy present. This freedom is something that will benefit our trailer on the whole.
