Composing the Soundtrack


Once we finished editing, and we already had an understanding of the pace and how quickly the shots are cut, we set about composing a soundtrack, using the Garageband software. With limited musical knowledge, and difficulty in timing the video and soundtrack perfectly, we reluctantly settled on a loop of a Garageband example loop. However, in an attempt to build tension we added suspenseful effects, and faded the volume from muted to loudest setting at the point where the victim is killed, creating foreboding and suspense. I think overall this was effective for the piece, and after gaining a basic understanding of the software this was done fairly easily, but I personally am disappointed we couldn't create our own.
