Sound - first draft

Process:
  • Music - I edited the music to sound like it was being played diegetically on the record player. I followed a tutorial I found on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD-qODP5JCY) and edited the values to suit my taste:
  • Sound effects - I downloaded a few different sound effects online from freesound.org and freesfx.co.uk. I then added these to my timeline, adjusting the volume and pitch.
  • In the scene, Alecia kicks Manon's book into her face. I couldn't find an appropriate sound effect online, so tried to create my own, using the recorder on my phone. This doesn't really sound how I want it to, so maybe I should try again using a marantz recorder.



Strengths:
  • I think I mixed the sound levels quite well
  • Timing - I believe I edited the sounds to synchronise with the visuals so that it makes sense to the audience

Need to improve:
  • Pacing - I think I need to add more shots to the end of the sequence, and make them longer as the pacing is too fast. Since the scene is a little bit emotional, it should be much slower to allow the audience sympathise with the characters
  • Music - I just used a copyrighted song that I already had in my library, but I would not be able to use this in the final version of my film
  • I could create some more sound effects myself, so that it sounds a bit more realistic
