Interview with Sound Designer

Interview: Written Form

Sound Designer

Me: When creating music for the first few minutes of a film what would you say is important? 

Sound Designer: Music is great at manipulating emotion, so is essential when trying  to connect with an audience. At the beginning it is very important to set the tone of the film, whether it is sad or happy. For our film "2-Faced", we incorporated both a sad and happy mood as we were showing a clear transformation of a character.

Me: When creating two different tones and attitudes through sound what would you say is most important to include?

Sound Designer: Well for our film we decided to incorporate just a piano to create a sad/mysterious atmosphere, this was very simple yet still heightened the mood a lot. However when changing the mood to a more happier lighthearted mood, we used a mixture of instrument i.e guitars, drums etc.

Me: Would you say foley sounds enhance the feel of a film?

Sound Director: Yes most defiantly! Foley sounds both create real life feel but when use dramatically it also can create a more comedic/animated film.

This gif shows the process of adding sound/music onto our final product. We used both copy right free music from soundcloud and foley music from garage band, to heighten realism in our film. These foley sounds included doors closing and the sound of putting clothes on.

Interview: Written Form

Director:

Me: When filming, specially for a title sequence of a film, what do you want to capture for the audience?

Director: As we are only filming 2/3 minutes of the entire film, it makes it more difficult to show what is going was the initial story line. We have to show clearly what the story line is and introduce each character and their role instantly.

Me: While filming the title sequence for '2-Faced' what do you want the audience to understand of the characters story?

Director: Though we don't want to make the story line too confusing, we still want to generate an interesting story. We decided on creating a transformation of our character, both their personality and image will change. This is the most important part of our film so we want the audience to easily understand it.

Me: If you had the opportunity to film the rest of '2-Faced' would you?

Yes, defiantly! I feel like we have created a great story line here, as it is very unusual and challenges the stereotypical high school drama. High school drama's are very popular, so our twisted new version of the genre may be just enough to receive some recognition.

Me: Thank you very much for the interview and i look forward to watching your title sequence

Creating and Editing the Soundtrack

We have made our soundtrack using Garageband. We have sourced usable tracks from soundcloud to convey both emotions in our soundtrack, beginning quite sad and emotional and then the other being a more up beat, happier tone. Through the use of Garageband we were also able to add folley sounds such as doors closing and the removing of clothing to make the scene seem more realistic. These folley sounds play over the soundtrack and are incorporated to not dominate the music.
