Sound... Done.

Since creating our instrumental loop soundtrack we have finished the script. We got our friend Joe (the one with the good american accent) to read it out in short sections which we then had to manouver and place appropriate places. One problem was that we recorded the voice over in final cut on the mac which meant the the sond is quite quiet. It was slightly overpowered by the music so we turned the master volume of the backing music down and put the voice volume to maximum. Overall im really pleased with the sound. Im glad we made it all non-diegetic and the narration has a strong reflection of the traditional film noir style.

Sound

Now our film is pretty much finished with regards to cutting and editing we thought it was about time we sorted out our sound track. First we uploaded the 'The Residents' track into final cut and looked at the histogram so we new exactly when to cut it. We selected a large instrumental section from the beginning of the track and duplicated it. We added fade in's and fade out's to the begging and end of the track in order to make the transitions unnoticeable so it seems like one continuous track. Now we need the narration!
