Sound for Forsaken

Welcome Back bloggers! I am so beyond excited to give you all more information on the different unique sounds that we are going to be using for our opener, Forsaken. The sound that we are going to be incorporating will create a both engaging and realistic atmosphere towards the audience and we are so thrilled to get more into these different sounds as it is one of the crucial elements towards our opener.

As a team, we have reviewed and considered lots of ideas towards the sounds with many different approaches towards this drama. You will see that most of our sounds do provide the realistic environment of the mall and even the factors of the nature outside as well. We are also brainstorming the idea of adding some man-made sounds into the film as well so stay tuned for that. We are aiming more closely to creating the unique environmental sounds within the beginning of the film opener as well as the noisy background that we would typically experience at the mall, to really express the realism that we are going for. Furthermore, all of the other diegetic sounds are planned to be recorded by the cameras within our scenes. 

In addition, with our non-diegetic sounds that will be heard by only the audience, we plan to include different music throughout the greater majority of the film to really give off the different tones that we want to emphasize. In most of the film, we want to give off the exciting, energetic mood as they are going through the mall. Our team has not yet started the sound editing process since we still have very important scenes that are still in the process of being filmed, but since our whole team, Marcus, Alexander, along with myself, will be editing, we have decided that we are going to use Premiere Pro and other apps like iMovie for the overall editing as well as the sound editing and we will talk more about that in the next post! We have hopes on using different copyrighted music but if we are not able to then we plan on just using copyright-free music which we can still work around. Lastly, we do anticipate using sound effects from YouTube as well as other websites which will be linked below...
