Garage Band

I hadn’t used Garageband before, and we didn’t add any non diagetic sound into our preliminary task, but it was very straight forward to get used to, and gradually we learned which sounds worked together and which sound effects would be suitable. Also from watching existing thriller films I got an idea of what type of music is used to build suspension and tension for the audience. When we first started using garage band we put together a repetitive sequence of sounds, but this got boring so we adapted it to add in more sounds and varied the order. We decided we wanted to include violins so found a base sound and a tune sound which we put together and repeated throughout the time of the filming sequence. We added the over the top sound effects we wanted as we deleted all of the recorded sound from filming.  Putting the file into Finalcut was trickier because I had to make sure the track synced with the footage, and the only way we could do this was to play both programs at the same time to make sure the timings from cutting from scene to scene worked, cutting sections once it was imported into Finalcut. Here we learned how to do a Sound Bridge as drawing the text which said ‘9 months later’ a sound effect of a phone ringing went off which lead into the zoom in on the phone ringing.
