Workshop 3 EVALUATION

This workshop, I was mainly expected to make my own music for a scene that has no music, in order to do this, I had to choose, a scene that would utilise no forms of music at all, however there can be both dialogue and sound effects included. In order to create music I was expected to create an instrumental piece in Garage-band and hoping that the music will fit in with the scene. By using given music instruments in the program itself.

My main goal was to make sure that I could incorporate more tension to the scene making it more tense than it was but not something that was over tense. In order to do so, I was able to use the two aforementioned instruments and was able to record notes using a computer keyboard, and after messing around with various notes, and playing about with times on the video clips.

After using a YouTube to MP4 converter, and finding the scene on Youtube like the aforementioned workshops, I used Garage-band in order to edit the sound levels as well as the music, making sure that everything fit there were no external recording processes. In this instance, I used integrated music instruments specifically, the infinity pad and Dirty analog monster-bass, both forms of bass' that I used, in order to add tension to the scene.


 I was able to create a small music track that would help to create tension in our said scene, I chose to use two completely different instrumental sounds, this was mainly because, I wanted to help create a contrast and mores a build up to the final climax of the scene that, by using higher notes and also using some melodies from holding down one key in order to give it a good start and then soon something that I could build something off, I would also leave gaps and whatnot in the middle of the scene mainly to give the scene more meaning and again more tension as with no music it already includes the tension of maybe an accident or something bad occurring, before then using my second instrument to help create the next part of my track and build upon any further tension.

Overall I used the second method in order to create any the track which was to write original music for the soundtrack, in this instance making it non-diegetic sound rather than diegetic sound. With the use of any instruments that I found in Garage-Band, and using them to make the track seem more in sync, and making the mood something tense, and giving it that meaning that this was a close call.



For this workshop I was also expected to work, on making a music track work on a clip from a film that already doesn't have any, or lack any music whatsoever. For the scene I have chosen I am using the same scene as aforementioned the "Close call" scene from Mission Impossible.

For this scene, I have chosen to fit the scene using the main theme song, and fit that over the movie scene, in order to do this I used GarageBand, to fit the music over and even sync it to the scene so that it doesn't seem too out of place nor distorted, and in fact made it look as if the scene fit well with said music in order to achieve this I used cuts when appropriate,  so that I could help the scene look right with leaving some form of ambiance and quiet humming sounds at the most tense scenes, to help with adding and emphasising even more tense than it already was originally. Furthermore,  by including the ending of the scene I used the end of the song, and implemented it into the end of the scene, unlike previous workshops there were no uses of recordings so no extra devices or anything are needed or were needed.
