Sound Design

Over the last few days I've been exploring Logic music software and learning basic sound development techniques so that when we come to complete our sound we will be able to edit sufficiently and won't be held back by our technical knowledge/limitations.
The program allows you to combine recorded sound with computer generated sound which is what we were hoping to do. It also gives us full control of the sound that we record.

We have also decided that we need to be clearer about how we want our sound to be in advance of recording with Cameron. We will still take some blind recordings from him but after a few takes we will show him some examples, samples and information about the kind of sound we want. In the next few days I'm analysing film music and mainly cross diegetic music which is a kind of enhanced diegetic sound, aided by non-diegetic SFX.

This source is a research & experience essay on sound in film, it analyses several examples and adds tips to the examples. There is also some tips on technique that could come in very useful for our filming in the next week.
