Sound is another important factor in filmmaking, and when it comes to my film, I was originally stumped when it came to sound design. That is why I wrote about David Lynch and how he managed to write and create music by himself, despite having limited musical practice in his early life. Hearing this was extraordinarily humbling to me, and it allowed me to experiment on my own a little bit. When it comes to music, I’m more into American Hard Rock, such as Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe, however this style of music would not be fitting. I also wrote a blog post about British New Wave band Duran Duran, and how the bassist John Taylor was able to create simple yet groovy lines. One piece of music from the band I took inspiration from is the song Tiger Tiger. So, with that in mind, I set up my bass guitar, amp, audio interface and begin recording. For recording, I was using the software Audacity, and made sure to have the settings in check. As of now I have the final cut of the film (minus colour grading), so I’m constantly having it play back and forth on my laptop whilst I play bass lines. After a few recordings I have a listen through them to see what could be improved and immediately begin to re-record more and more lines. Although there is going to be one long bass track in my film, I also recorded small bass effects to use in place of real-life sound effects.
Having constructed what is the final soundtrack for the film, I am chuffed.
