Sound for Screen L1

Sound for Screen

Screen shot of Logic Pro

      Today we watched a really interesting, short clip on the sound design for a Lord of the Rings film.  LOTR2 Sound Design Video We were then given a shorter clip ourselves in which we had to add sound to. Using Logic Pro we searched all the loop and Sound FX categories to find sounds that matched each action. We then had to cut it, shape it and change the sound to fit perfectly with both the action and the timing.

• External diegetic - Sounds heard by all characters in a scene.
