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: Soundtracks



Soundtracks


Typical post-apocalyptic soundtracks appear to share the same theme. These tracks all appear to attempt to put across a mood of emptiness, darkness and uncertainty to the listener or the viewer of the film that the soundtrack is being used in.

These moods fit the storylines of the majority of post apocalyptic films which consist of the same moods that the soundtracks are trying to put across.

I have posted a few of the soundtracks that I listened to during my research below.







"Godspeed you! Black Emperor - 9-15-00"



Researching through these soundtracks has given me an idea of the kinds of music that I need to find in order to add to my own piece.
