Organising Sound

When it came to using non-diegetic sounds/soundtrack in our piece, we had many ideas, and people that could help us with our ideas.


One of our first ports of call was to ask our actor (Christopher Taylor) who is also a musician to create a piece of music that we could possibly use. He did so, but when placing that non-diegetic soundtrack with our animated storyboard, we decided that the track was no good and didn't match the atmosphere that we would of liked to use.

Once we had filmed, and had our first cut without music,  we decided to ask yet another musician to help with our ideas. To this composer, we organised to meet as a group and describe to him exactly what we would need, and also have him a background of the narrative and also the characters. It was a few days before we had a track we could use, and when we received the track, it fitted perfectly with our film.

When it came to sound effects, we used a royalty free website in order to not use copyrighted material, and placed that non-diegetic sound effect on our rough cut 3. This was easy as we were able to, on the day of editing, download the track and use it directly on to our rough cut three.
