FINAL SOUNDTRACK PRODUCTIONS : PROPOSAL

FINAL SOUNDTRACKS


For your final assignment you will be planning ( writing a proposal) then completely redubbing the audio elements from two moving image scenes ( film/TV/animation , 1 minutes +)

This will put into practice the techniques you have learnt during the audio workshops and you can use at least one scene you have previously studied.  You will be  assessed for the following ;

Creativity , technical quality, detailed and varied sound mixes, variety of technical skills and methods used, range of sound types and sound sources.


Remember :  You must recreate all of the diegetic sounds that the audience would expect to hear in your scenes, such as  dialogue and sound effects. You can choose to add in other non-diegetic elements such as music or voiceover.



You must use  some dialogue dubbing, music and  at least one Foley( homemade)  effect  in at least one of your soundtracks. It would be best to use music in only one of your scenes and  a variety of subtle and creative techniques in both of your scenes
