The next step in our film was figuring out sound. This is very important for our film because theres not much dialogue. Due to this we focused on when it would be diegetic sounds or music. We then decided on a good balance. This would help give the film contrast. The diegetic sound will consist of natural sounds. For example, a pill case rattling, the slamming of a door, footsteps and more. This sound will be taken while the scene is shot. This helps to keep the film feeling as real as possible. The next decision was on what the background music was going to be.
Our film has different moods to it and we wanted that to be portrayed through the sounds. We also wanted the music to be strictly instrumental. This decision was based off of a few factors. My group and I firstly understood how hard it is to receive the rights to a song. It’s not always guaranteed, so it’s safer to go with copyright free background music. My group and I also felt that having a song with lyrics would be too distracting and wouldn’t relate to the film. My group and I then decided on having light and playful background music in the beginning of the film, and then switching to sad and dramatic music toward the end. This music would tie into the plot. It will make the change in the film also more dramatic and obvious. Now that the sound is picked we are ready to start filming our short.
