Using Sountrack.

In the final Stages of the production of our film clip we use soundtrack in order to make sure that our diagetic sound that we had captured while filming was not to loud and perfectly in time with what was going on. We did this buy first importing our video to soundtrack and then by using the razor tool we cut the sound into different clips. This meant that we were much more able to turn down and up certain points of our film. For example we decided when on soundtrack that when the killer said “Recognize me now” it wasn’t creepy or tension building enough. To solve this problem we decided to slow down that particular clip and also make it quite so it appeared a whisper. In our film we wanted to demonstrate both use of diagetic and non-diagetic sounds. However we felt that lots of non-diagetic sound would not fit with the build up in tension of the scene and felt it important to keep music to a minimum. We did however create a clip of two drum beats that sounded, when we had slowed them down, very similar to a heart beat. Our group decided that this clip would be effective to connote that the girl was really scared and also to build up suspense.
