Screen Shot of Garage Band soundtrack.

This is our first attempt at making our opening soundtrack on garage band.
The one comment that was made and that we were aware of was to add the crackling sound of fire which will be shown in many of the establishing and beginning shots of the short film.

here is the latest shot of our garage band track. As you can vaguely see from the top image, the track has increased more in its size and depth, there's a lot more understanding in the track and when listening to the track it feels complete in the sense it doesnt feel as though somethings missing.

Garage Band Testing

This is our first attempt at using garage band to make an appropriate sound track to open our short film.
We felt as though the track started to begin to alien however, we were happy with what we archived. Sam has already used a music program such as garage band, therefore he directed me on how to make it more appropriate leaving me to create this.

since the original music track that was created many weeks ago, we have developed a base tone for the opening track above. We feel that the track needed this as it felt quite empty and needed a base tune.
I personally (Andrew) am happy with what i have achieved for the beginning track with Sam directing me whenever i have issues with the program, however, i am now finding the program a lot easier to control and understand the concept of all the individual sections that come with the program.

Sound outline

This is our sound outline plan. This details the non-diagetic sounds we plan to include in the soundtrack over our film. We felt it was important to have everything detailed down to the second as alot of our sound affects are only applicable to very short sections of our film and so must be accurate. It will also give us a reference for sound editing.

To open the titles, we thought that this was a ideal theme.

Poltergeist Rating

Above are the IMBD ratings. We looked The Others, Dark Water, Poltergiest, The Grudge, all of which scored around the 6/7 mark. On all films, there were a high number of votes which indicates that the films were reaching a high number of viewers. Horror is a universal genre which can interest anybody. I think the films we studied are good models because of their rating.

Make-Up Design Sheet

Normally, a make-up design sheet shows examples of pre-existing characters that the film producer thinks are good and would want to base their threat on. However, because in our film you don't see the threat, so we are going to use it too analyse victims we think we could use.

                                                                                                                                                                          

This photo we got off the internet. We chose it because we may choose to use a silhouette in our ending and we thought this was a good example because of the use of backlighting. 

This is a shot of two characters from friday 13th. We chose to preview this shot because they are normal examples of teenage victims in a horror. Our victim is a teenaged male and we thought that these two characters were a good example. 

This is another example of a silhouette we could use in our film. This one however is different because is quite a light one.
