Sound Design

Sound design is a very important part off editing. Without sounds it wouldn't be a film. At the very beginning of production we showed our film ides to a group of sound students, unfortunately not many sound people signed up to help all animation students so we has to think about sound ourselves. Both Ed's knew what they wanted in terms of sound effects and music.

Ed Hudson's film wanted more music than any sound effects and he found some music that fitted well with the style. He wanted the music to go to some of the fast parts of his film so show the mad dash that the orphan was in to give this old man his coin back.

Ed Bulmer's film had music but in need of a few sound effects. For example a door slamming and the sound of the pen crossing out the numbers on the paper. He also wanted some eerie sounds that could be used when the man visits different universes. I thought we could use my sound recorder to record our own sounds.

We recorded the kettle, an eerie light flick, a door slam and the pen. The sounds came out okay but we thought to save time we also need to find sounds online. We used some internet sites such as free sound.
