Sound

Our film is going to use natural sounds which will most likely be recorded at the source. We will do this because films that belong to the social realism genre dont use farfeched sound FX. We want our piece to look and feel like the audience is standing with the characters watching, as opposed to sitting stairing at a screen. Through our reasearch we have discoverd that these films use very subtle sounds such as the distant tweeting of birds or a police siren going off in the distance to set the mood of the film and emphaise the location they are in. With the soundtrack layed over the film, it is generaly a soft melodic tune usually played on the piano. I think we will adopt this idea, along with others, to not only set the mood for the audience but to also keep the audiences attention throughout the 5 minuites. We will most likely record our soundtrack ourselves, as to not break any copyright laws.
