Sound
When it came to adding sound for practical use such as
walking or opening doors, I used a website called ‘soundfree’ which allows
people to go onto the site and download copyright free, and free sounds for
free use. This website was extremely useful for finding non diegetic sounds for
the video as I can simply type in what sound I like and it’ll come up in the
search. By adding in these extra sounds, it makes the video seem more well
done, more clear and generally more professional with a wide range of sounds
being added to be more clear in editing.
The image to the right shows just a few
examples of some practical sounds being added into the video in editing.
I also added in music with my video while in editing, I
wanted to choose music which wasn’t scary, but more of a low and vague sound
which was ambiguous and generates some sort of unawareness and tension for the
viewer. I had to constantly alter and play with the volume control in
editing, so that when someone is talking
or non-diegetic sounds are being made, the music is lowered down, so that the
volume of other areas of the video can be audible and turned up. I believe in
the end I was able to keep a constant volume level throughout the video, where
it was never too loud or quiet, or where sounds were being played over each
other.
