Post Apocalyptic Planning: Sound design and soundtracks





Within the opening that we plan to create, we will require different forms of sound that will need to be non-copyright. In order to do this, we may use some forms of Foley sound as well as researching into non-copyright soundtracks.

Sound effects

For the piece, we require a sort of bass sound to hit as the main title screen for the film is shown. I have researched into different ways of making bass sounds and have come up with a couple of ideas that we could use.



Vocal Creation of a bass sound

One way in which we could create this bass sound is by having a member of our group physically make a deep "boom" type sound into a microphone and use editing software in order to manipulate it to perfection.

Using a bass drum

A second way of creating this sound would be by simply using a bass drum and recording the sound it makes to place into our piece.

Soundtracks

For the piece, we require a soundtrack that suggests to the viewers that the world is almost "empty" and "mysterious", despite the fact that it is the same world that they have always lived in. Below I have posted a selection of these tracks:

















I have chosen Far Out Man - Jingle Punks as the soundtrack that is most likely to be used within our opening. I feel it is the most perfect of the three tracks that we found and will fit perfectly within the storyline of our piece.

Post Apocalyptic Research: Sound Design


Sound design within post apocalyptic films


Sound design within post apocalyptic films, my research has shown, contains a plethora of almost "empty" sounds that are created using different types of Foley techniques and pieces of apparatus that make specific sounds.



During my research, I came across numerous videos of Foley sound being used to create these almost "empty" sounds that could be used within Post-Apocalyptic films, I have posted below the best example of one of these that I have found.






My research has given me a knowledge of different methods of Foley techniques that I could use within my own post apocalyptic film opening in order to create this true sense of destruction and emptiness within the storyline.
