Manipulating sound 


To start off with, I used a black picture and pasted it 7 times so there was something for the sound to go over. I then put the (non-copyrighted) song over the top, and trimmed it to 4 seconds where the singing starts. I did this 6 times so I could try out 6 different sound effects to see what kind of atmosphere/mood they gave. 

I decided to leave the first 4 one without an effect, so you could hear how it is with no effect over it. The next one I used the 'Echo' effect, which I think sounded really good and creepy, building tension. The next one I used the 'Telephone' effect to see how it would sound, and it sounded very muffled and quiet. I thought we could maybe use this for when there is music in the earphones, as it creates that kind of effect. I then tried out 'Large room' and I think this sounded good as it echoed but not as drastically as the 'Echo' effect, which in some circumstances could be even creepier. Next I tried out 'Multi-tune', which had a very distorting and uncomfortable effect. I hope we can use this in our editing but it's a case of deciding where. The final effect was 'Robot' which is very computerised and sounds good in that sense but I'm not sure if it would fit in our film opening with the concept or location.
