edit- the sounds

From the research that I have conducted on the conventions of the thriller genre we can see that a lot of the sounds that are used in the back ground of the film are there to help set the mood for a film, this is to help direct the emotions of the audience and lead them to the emotions that the character is feeling or how to feel about the situation.
the first section of our film contains a heart beat we found that this is a very popular sound effect to be used in a thriller/drama this is because it makes the audience feel awkward in the fact they are put on edge also buy making the beat speed up we are helping to build that climax. we then quickly change into a 'flat line heart beat'. From research we can see that the higher the pitch of the sound the more the audience feel intimidated and eager for the next bit and so we decided to add to the conventions we had already portrayed and add this in.


For our main piece of music we have used one of Adele's well know songs 'hometown glory' and edited the music slightly to adjust it to our genre and used one of our own group members to doing the vocals. Emma recorded herself singing to our already adjusted version of the song and from here both me and Emma took the track and added it to the film. we cut things out, sped things up etc. just to the full potential out of the song.
To edit the music we used garage band, although it took a while to get the hang of we eventually found out how to work it. we found that you can add in loops on top of the track, change the pitch tempo and cut the song. We took full advantage when it came to editing the music as we felt that we could adjust the music to fit with every section of the opening.

above is the image that shows us editing the song and laying tracks together.
