Adding Sound To Your Film Task

 “Unexcused Absence” by Soren Schoeust, Thomas Grace, and Ethan Cardona


https://youtu.be/6GC98tdA1tM

In total there are 8 different sounds in our video. (Sounds that repeat aren’t included multiple times)

1. Intro Music - This helps ease the viewer into the mood at the very beginning of our video, but they quickly see that mood was a rouse with the plot of the video. 

2. Ethan’s Character Theme - Whenever Ethan’s character is onscreen a creepy tone plays to signify his motives and what he plans to do. For a lot of the stuff he’s doing, its normal stuff but the theme signifies that he has alterior motives. We can see this when Soren is walking in the halls and Ethan does the exact same thing but with a creepy tone.

3. Soren’s Happy Music - This like the theme above helps play into the contrast between the two characters. Soren and Ethan both walk normally but their themes define their real motives. 

4. Footsteps - The footsteps help build a sense of intensity. Every scene before this has had Ethan far away, but the footsteps show off that he is getting closer and Soren beginning to run faster.

5. Intense Music - When Soren notices he’s being followed, intense music begins to play alongside Ethan’s theme. This confirms the feelings that the viewer may be having and builds up for the climax of the video. The main event is about to go down.

6. Heavy Breathing - As Soren peers around the corner all the music is muted and we just hear heavy breathing. This puts the viewer in Soren’s shoes as we no longer hear Ethan’s theme and he has just vanished from the hallway

7. Ruler Impact SFX - The ruler obviously couldn’t  be stabbed into Soren, so this SFX shows impact and action right as the video cuts. 

8. Outro Music - As we see Soren’s name getting crossed out on the attendance sheet, slow paced music begins to play and fade out alongside the video. This is the end of the video.
