Myiesha | Sound Mixing

THIS POST HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY MYIESHA.

Sound mixing in the film has the ability to bring a scene into balance, making it more dynamic to further engage the viewers and establish a particular mood the sound directors may have to want to show, an important factor is music in the background, which can reveal more about the scene if we pay attention to it.

Initially, we choose a modern-sounding sad piano being placed in the background to emphasize the saddened event regarding their disbandment but as our teacher looked at it he found it more suitable if we were to use something that can indicate some sense of time as the film opening was based on the 90s and would be a better representative of the video itself. After a brief consultation with the other team members we went forward with this idea I then also asked for assistance or recommendations as he would definitely have a better insight.









One of the songs Sir recommended:

What I recommended, they liked it:

Along the lines of what we initially wanted to be and something Maroosh had to scavenger:

Another thing we took into consideration was looking for the perfect narration or voice-over. We wanted a man's voice because most of the characters in our opening were females...

We did in fact ended up with a few of our friends who "willingly" helped us but to us, they were not fully able to do justice towards what we were looking for... or we just might have high standards?... We couldn't figure out what exactly was missing therefore we somehow altered to yet another female character to voice over as it might be better suited

It wasn't what we had expected but might have possibly been, maybe it was what we needed for the time being perhaps? we chose an external person to help us out since we were already acting and our voices might not sounded comparatively mature enough

other sound effects such as for the headline's montage including the "CLICK CLICK FLASH" sound

in other words, the "camera flash sound effect adds some sort of paparazzi feel towards it, showcasing how influential they might be during their prime
