Music, Sound Effects and Titles:

In the lesson on the 6th of February we finalized the editing process when we got to a point where we thought that the piece looks strong just with the clips etc. In the lesson we then took the 2 minute piece into Soundtrack pro where we layed down a backing track for the whole piece and then over the top of the backing track we added sound effects that fitted with the action in the sequence, For example - when the killer was sharpening the knife we really over emphasized the noise and also added over the top sound effects on to the opening of doors, running water, knocking etc as this is one of the techniques that real thriller movies use and if used well create a good thriller. At the points of climax or importance we changed the sound to a higher or lower pitch etc to let the audience know there was a change in action or just to keep them re-interested if interest was lost in the original music used.
