P3(d) Linking Audio to Visuals and Applying Audio Effects

Meaning and Purpose: Sound plays an important role in any film. It helps set the tone, provides ambience, setting and mood. At the beginning, the music I chose was creepy and foreboding. It gets happier when the man and woman are out walking on the street, and then it cuts out altogether when things get very serious and the woman is attacked. This final choice allows all of the focus to be on the attack and whether or not the man who has been watching the woman will step up and save her. 

In this screen shot, I have begun uploading the music I will play over the scenes. I deleted the original audio from the camera footage, as this is not needed in the final project. I then play the music over the video. 

I also played with the volume of the music overlay. As scenes would fade to black when a location change was occurring, the music would fade in volume to match the play out. I added keyframes to the video and audio to do this in a synchronised and controlled way. 

Background music was also an issue I had to resolve as I wanted to add this to create a more 'dramatic effect' through some of my clips,where it was supposed to be the little bit of scary. To do this, I decided to play something on the pure music which I could find and include in my film.

I used the internet to help me find and download the basic music for this short film.It was a pure music and with mysterious feeling.I found this music is very suitable for my video.

This is the timeline.I muted the original sound of part of the video which there was no communication at all and it showed in Audio 1.However for the people's talking I would like view to hear that,therefore I put is in Audio 2 and in Audio 3,it is the background music that I found.
