Research and Planning: Sound

For my research and planning I looked into sound effect to match the genre of different types of films and how then audience will be able to recognize the genre of a film just by listening to the music.

For my research I did a short video on the program Garage Band with my partner Steph. We were given a genre to create a type of video that the other people in the group would be able to guess what type of genre it was. Our genre was Western which we were given, so we added all sounds which we though would match the genre of a western, which were:

• Barn opening
• Footsteps
• Barn closing
• Horse footsteps
• Campfire music

We also went around the college and recorded some sounds which with match the genre of our teaser trailer. the sounds were sounds that you would hear in the background of the trailer:

• Radio
• Door Closing
• Footsteps
• Crowds
• Traffic
