Sound

Week 6: Wednesday

Today we completed our storyboards and decided to find appropriate sound for our title sequence.  We looked at copyright free music websites, such as Audio Network.  We searched for 'horror' which turned out very successful as there were many sounds that we liked and fit our plot.  For example, one music piece named 'Nightmares Before Bedtime' included piano which sounded like children's nursery rhymes yet with a creepy atmosphere.  We thought this would go perfectly with our storyboarding ideas of our young protagonist walking into the woods.  We found another piece (Nightshade) that included a low, rhythmic beat which would blend well with the first piece, so we are definitely going to mix several music tracks together.

I made a list of all the pieces of music we liked:

My teacher also suggested making our own music, using Logic Pro, so we played around with various sounds on that programme.  This included an organ, violin and piano.  However, we thought an existing piece of music would sound more professional.
