I have started work on my sound project, in later this week. The brief is to create a score to a short movie clip. We have each been assigned a movie clip from the Manga version of 1920’s movie Metropolis.
I have decided to incorporate musical elements into my score, and gradually build up the tension, as my clip ends with the young boy rescuing the girl from the machine, so it the clip reaches a natural climax which i want to exploit.
Im using a program called Magix Music Maker. Although it is not a professional tool, it is more than adequate for what i intend for my clip, as it allows video and offers a fair amount of control over the audio.
I have begun by recording in some really discordant guitar, and really playing around with the sounds to create an ominous backing track.
Some of the more complex sound effects i want to create will be a challenge, but i would like to keep it organic where i can, recording sounds around the house and using my voice. I may have a dabble with reason to get some more adventurous sounds, i’ll have to see how it progresses.
