SOUNDTRACK

For our production we will be using the mac software 'soundtrack'. With the softaware we were able to experiment with different sounds and music that will give an effective and atmospheric feel to the film.

The soundtrack allowed us to layer the sounds to give a professional outcome, we were also able to lower and higher the pitch and using the 'effects' tool we were able to fade the sounds into each other which adds to the continuity of the film.

The picture above shows how we were able to edit the volume of particularly sounds to accentuate one over another.

In the picture above it shows a print screen of the side bars in 'soundtrack'. It shows 12 themes of sounds you can choose from for example; 'impacts and crashes' and 'transportation'. This let the sounds be grouped so it was easier to find what your looking for. A sound that particularly interested us was 'heli' which came under the category of ambience. We felt this would be effective for the beginning of the trailer to set the atmosphere eery.

The sounds we were thinking of using to set the atmosphere for our trailer was to open with an upbeat modern opening to reflect the colour-changing beginning and to show a more happy scene then as the title shows 'psychosis', there would be a dramatic change into creepy and eery sounds with and a continuous beat using the sounds of violins. We feel that using violins throughout would not complicate the trailer but continue the theme of thriller.
