Experimental Project - Sound Editing

Sound was a difficult one as we weren't too sure what sound effects to record and once we had them we didn't really know how to use them so in the end we didn't really use them too much which was mainly down to the fact that we kind of though our piece was quite good without sound and we were scared that sound might take away from it rather than enhance it or would just make it a bit too mad and take away from the seriousness. In the end Natalie found some royalty free music that had quite a weird sound to it so we decided to use that alongside a less weird sounding quite simple beat. The point of this was to use the more simpler, nicer sounding music at the beginning and as the stranger stuff starting happening and building that we'd gradually introduce the weird music a bit at a time to try and fit in with the images. The only other sounds we really used was a harp sound I put it at the beginning to go with the eye movement and some traffic noises where there was traffic and where the door close multiple times we added in a door slam. Again we didnt want to add an awful lot of sound, we wanted to keep it as minimal in terms of complexity because visually there is a lot going on so we didnt want it to get too much. If we get more criticism for sound I will understand as this was left a bit last minute compared to the rest and also in some ways I think it can be harder as sound effects can be created and dialogue recorded but when it comes to music if you can't make your own it's harder to try and find something that fits perfectly with what you want and that isn't copyrighted.
