MOVING IMAGE 3 PROPOSAL 

UNIT 38: SOUNDTRACK PRODUCTION 

INTRODUCTION:

For this proposal, I will be looking at the short film that I produced for unit 22, titled “A New Day”. For this I will be mainly working with the soundtrack production and how I went about filming it all as well as being able to edit and record audio (if required to) for the video alike. I will be covering all sorts of aspects such as locations, Personnel Resources, and spoken words if applicable. 

RECORDING LOCATION INFORMATION:

For the short film in terms of locations to be filmed in, the first few scenes of the short film were all recorded and shot in my house, using various camera shots to show off various perspectives of me getting ready to go out and meet friends. The next scene was filmed at a bus stop and the final couple of scenes filmed at Box park. The film was roughly 3 minutes at max. The soundtrack used was completely non-diegetic and was mainly an instrumental soundtrack that I produced using Music maker and then being able to edit these said pieces with the help of Garageband, in order to make the music seem much more authentic and actually work giving the film a good and positive vibe alike.  

PERSONNEL 

In terms of Personnel for this short film, the idea was to essentially capture a day in the life of someone, meeting friends in the holidays. For our main cast we had 4 people play teenagers meeting up at Box park for the movie, we also had two people on camera including myself this is because the story would be shot from a first-person perspective, as well as third-person that essentially gives our audiences an idea of what view you can see the main character as well as what’s going on, from various perspectives. 

RESOURCES

In terms of resources we mainly used a storyboard as a form of visual representation in order to help with an initial skeleton with the video, we didn’t use a script as there’s not much-spoken word involved in the final product.  Furthermore, computer and sound manipulation and editing software were also included in the making of the film. In terms of any forms of spoken word, we mainly didn’t use any as we wanted the non-diegetic music to take the lead and make it so that the music was the dictator of the entire film in itself. 

MUSIC IDEAS FOR POST PRODUCTION

The genre of the music took after an electric funk sort of style that would help enforce the idea of a party being put into place or that atmosphere of being happy alike. Garageband would essentially be used to help edit the sounds to make it seem more authentic so that it fits the track and the use of instruments and sound pools in music maker allows for some music to be made according to the mood. As all the music is being produced by us there was essentially no need in worrying about any forms of copyright issues as such or more. 

SOUND FX FOR POST PRODUCTION

For sound effects they weren’t needed for production especially because of the approach we took towards producing the audio for this film, we only came across the idea that the story would be told visually and with music rather than sound effects as such.
