Audio Time!!

 Dear Readers,

Hope you are having a great day. Let’s talk about audio! Obviously Audio is a major aspect of the film opening, it’s in the dialogue and background music. It’s time to discuss how we will be utilizing and planning our audios. 

Let’s first talk about background music. The background music in the film opening can make or break the mood and tone of the story. For my opening, me and my partner decided use background music when the detective is hard at work and when wee the title credits and the title itself. We wanna use  correct audio choice so it can perfectly be incorporated with the screen. One important thing to note is that the audio and the music must be NON-COPYRIGHT or royality free. While there is some amazing options in copyright music, the process of getting permission to use these songs might take weeks to get approval, it’s better to sick to something we have already have access for in the time being.

Here’s some options for music.

Now let’s talk dialogue and background noise. My main concern with background noise is obviously filtering the white noise out. If I can do that in the day of shooting, I will try to soundproof the garage. I researched some ways to soundproof a room for recording, most websites said to buy the soundproofing panels, but for more budget friendly ideas I can “ hang thick blankets over your walls, and cover the floor with large area rugs (or a bunch of little rugs put together).”For dialogue and non-diagetic sound, like voiceover. I will be recording using my phone or iPad, most likely in the most soundproof room in my house, my closest.
