I have worked with Adobe Audition regarding the sound we would use in the film.

I used a mixture of the sounds colected, from the castle by me but also sounds that was collected by Sam. These were titles Elizabeth Castle Sound library.

What I had to do is filter each sound I wanted to use, this meant it was “clean” meaning the background noises were eliminated as best as possible. I could quiet down each element of the sound to a desired level.

When selecting effects rack-filter and EQ-parametric equaliser- the above graph is a graph representing the frequencies , by selecting the HP, this blocks the lowest frequencies and the lowest pitch, and the LP blocks the higher frequencies and higher pitch.

there are 2 different lines and the yellow is responsible for the volume, meaning moving it up or down will either quiet it or make the sound louder.

In adobe audition I was able to combine different sounds together to create a sound scheme. I decided to create one consisting of seagulls and the sound of the sea. after cleaning and filtering the sounds I have inserted them in and made sure to save them as a collection, so I know they are a combination of sounds joint together. this makes a great background track, so a sound that is ongoing or primary sound that shapes the mood of the film. other combinations that would have worked well is maybe the sea and people talking in the distance.

Working with sound is a very important aspect when it comes to films, there are even specific jobs that revolve around people making sound effects or anything that is being filmed, this is to produce a cleanest sound possible so that the quality of it increases the realness of the movie. one of the things that make a great movie is how well the viewer is engaged with it. the more interested they are in the movie the more successful it will be. Sound serves as a vital aspect when it comes to cinematography as it affects the mood, and heightens peoples emotions. for example when the sound is calming and a sudden bang appears, this mixed with the image being displayed, a person is more likely to get scared due to the sound as its an impulse reaction based on what they are seeing and hearing.

This is why I would need to use sound that is relevant to what is being shown. Elizabeth castle is segregated from the land and is surrounded by the sea, therefore sound like the sea, wind, seagulls are most applicable. it is important the sounds I use are not random and link to what is being shown.
