Doing the sound track

When we were giving out the roles in our group I chose to do the sound track that goes over our opening sequence. At first I was worried about doing the sound track because I didn’t know a lot about how to put together music, but when talking to people and watching other’s do their I took some tips and managed to create a sound track for our thriller.

When starting this project I experimented with different sounds and what worked well when watching our opening sequences. It was difficult but I got the hang of it.

Now my final sound track is put in onto the movie and I think it works well with it.

Research
