Planning of use of soundtrack and sound effects

Callum Carmichael

This is the first website I chose to use a non-copyrighted horror soundtrack. The extent of free and non-copyrighted horror soundtracks and sounds available were very wide and allowed me to look through a variety of sounds until I found one that would fit my trailer.

This is the first website I chose to use a non-copyrighted horror soundtrack. The extent of free and non-copyrighted horror soundtracks and sounds available were very wide and allowed me to look through a variety of sounds until I found one that would fit my trailer.

This was one of the original non-copyrighted soundtracks that I chose to have within my trailer. I opened up the software programme Audacity so I could make necessary changes to the soundtrack.

I then imported my final soundtrack file into Audacity so I could work with both tracks and create the exact sound I wanted within my trailer.

I moved my top layer soundtrack down the timeline towards the 30 second mark in which I wanted it too begin. As the soundtrack below it would allow the build up towards my main soundtrack on the top level.

I then split my lower soundtrack into two sections. As I wanted to change the tempo of the lower split layer.

I went into the effects panel and chose change speed.

The change speed panel allowed me to increase the speed of the track and thus create a faster tempo within the track leading up to the crescendo.

I then once again split the last 30 seconds of the track again

I then increased the tempo of this track even further to create the ultimate peak of the song and the crescendo which would then ensue.

I then reduced the top tracks length so it would finish when the trailer finished and thus create a nice fade out after the crescendo.

This was my final soundtrack edited. I then saved and exported the soundtrack, finally importing it into Adobe Premier Pro and adding it into my film trailer.
