Sound Effects

Today I added the sound effects to my sequence.

These include ambience sounds in the forrest section of bird song. I like this as it adds a very innocent feel to what is a stressful, sinister situation, it is slightly disorientating for the audience as it challenges their expectations. Also I have added in the door knock in the bedroom. This is vital to the story as without it the action doesn't make sense. It is the prompt for Heidi to look and walk towards the door.

I took these sound effects straight off of the garageband track I did for the animatic. I took the the complete track and in garage band removed any part of the track that I didn't need, leaving only the bird song and the door knock.

 Next after exporting the file and loading it into Final Cut Express I cut it up to place the audio at the correct places in the sequence. Funnily enough this didn't take as long as I thought it would. It turns I am getting to grips with FInal Cut Express.

It went from looking like this.

To something like this.
