Starting the Soundtrack and Searching For Sounds For The Soundtrack

Today (Tuesday 24th February 2009) myself and Henok came in during the morning (10:00A.M.) as we had a free period and so we decided to start compiling a list of different diagetic sounds from the software ‘Soundtrack Pro’. We went through different all the sounds in ‘weapons’, ‘foley’, ‘work/home’ etc… This process was very timely but enjoyable at the same time as we had each other listening to different potential sounds that could be used for the soundtrack and discussing where each sound could be put in.

After compiling the list of potential sounds we could use we then decided to have a brief look over the thriller video, and as we watched it we realised that some parts did not really flow when going into the next part of the scene; so we decided to put in a few more transitions. We watched the video again and so that the transitions were now much more smooth.

At first we hesitated to get started with the soundtrack and wanted to leave it for Sevin to do but then suddenly Henok got started with the soundtrack for a joke and it sounded really good, so we decided to get started on the real soundtrack. I told Henok were some of the sounds were to go in and he put them into order. This is were the list that we had compiled came in helpful as we no longer needed to search for sounds, thus saving us time.
