Evaluation 6 and 7

6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 

7)  Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Music

This was a point of contention between members of our group, as each of us had a clear vision of the sound that we wanted to use. The beginning was decided before filming, as the music was exactly what we wanted, so that wasn't the problem. The problem was that during the running shots we couldn't find the right music, we knew what we wanted, but we couldn't find one that fit, or decide on which one was the most similar to our vision. We eventually decided, but after it had been added we realized that our choice didn't work in the slightest, and we scrapped the sound. We finally found the right music, which was a mix of tracks, and the opening came together.

Recording sound

We folied our sound over the top of our opening, as it was the sound effect of a phone ringing and a busy message which did not record well, as the sound was coming  through the phone, on the initial filming. We also added the voice answering, as it was also coming through the phone, and we needed to get the timing exactly right to match with Kira's reactions, which was easier to do during the editing process.

Sound 2.0

A lot of our sound is non-diagetic, as we hope that the music will build tension. It starts with calm music, and then a back beat is gradually added to build the suspense.

Sound

Our film has background music, but that background music cannot be copyrighted, so we found a website called 'Epidemic Sound' that provides a wide range of royalty free music.
This is where we got the entirety of the background music for our storyboard animation.
