Sound effects

Sound Levels

Within our short film there are many points where we have decided to fill in with sound effects. For example in this scene we have inserted footstep sound effects to help bring the feeling of action where both characters are seen running. We've made sure to maintain the sound level of the sound effects well or on similar volume as the sound track and original audio to make sure it is not too quiet or too loud.

Within this another set off sound effects have been placed. Most sound effects appear in a light blue colour however some sound effects may be dark blue due to it being either extracted from our actual recordings or original audios from clips. One of the first sound effects that we have applied and used was originally a piece of audio from the clip section where we filmed the character moving a board game piece. We cut out the particular section where the audio of the piece being placed and emphasised it by increasing the volume. This created a nice effect that would seem satisfying to the viewers. Another sound effect that we have used is the bell ring which we have used in many different spots. The first spot is the moment where the character is at the first point in the classroom pressing the bell, in this moment we have applied a bell ring sound effect to help portray to the audience and show that the bell has been rung. Another bell ring sound we have used was edited using garageband to make it seem off, this bell ring was supposed to be abnormal or different to the rest of the bell rings that could be heard through out the short film to make the audience more interested and focused on the show. We have also used door close sound effect to portray the closing of the door in the beginning of the short film.

Within this section we have implemented a snapchat notification sound effect which we ourselves have recorded using voice recorder equipment. We placed it here to show to the audience that the student received a  message in which they stop to reply to.
