Sound Notes

I chose this track because it begins the song with a with a high pitch humming noise, this is played throughout the song. The track also includes abrupt beats that are effective. The humming noise picks up in pitch and volume throughout. The song for the most part is relatively sticks to this still style, however, it eventually picks up by including more beats in the background and increases the tempo of the track to show a change in situation. Due to the song being too long to fit into the two minute mark I will be required to cut some of the track to fit into the length of my opening and also to make sure that the song fits in well with the change in situation.

This is the track I chose as I feel that is can portray the circumstances that I wish for the opening. The constant humming in the background helps to give off a feeling of suspense and tension as the humming constantly feels as it is building up in volume, this can align the feelings of the mercenaries with the audience as it would make the audience await the change in tempo. When it does eventually pick up in tempo the song can be used to show that the situation is slowly developing into chaos, I feel that this can show the audience that the plan that the mercenaries had devised is slowly falling apart and that they may have to improvise.

The main purpose of my song choice is that I wanted a track that could successfully create the tone and atmosphere that I believe a person would feel in that situation, not only that but I also wished for the audience to have similar emotions to help them understand the situation better and feel invested in the opening. By editing the track correctly I think it will allow the premise of the story to be set to make up for the lack of dialogue that is planned for the opening and foreshadow to the audience how they feel the events in the film would unfold.

This was track that I considered using for my opening, however, as I listened to it over and thought about how it may sound in my opening I felt that it would give the audience the wrong idea about the film when compared to the preferred track I chose. The start of the track was fitting although I felt that the abrupt change in tempo and beats wouldn't really fit well in my opening.


This is the sound effect of a silenced gun I chose to use when there is moments that guns are shot in the opening, I required this sound effect due to the fact that if there was no sound effect put in place it would seem strange from the audiences perspective. Due to the amount of times the gun is fired I would need to cut the clip down to fit the amount of times the gun is fired, this can easily down when it comes to editing.
