Sound FX

After discussing as a group what sound FX we would use and looking at a number of websites which allow you download copyright free material, we decided the best option was to record all of it on our own accord, meaning it was original and no other sounds on any other films are the same as ours. This gave us a window of opportunity to use our imagination and creativity to come up with the ideas. We knew that all effects would have to be created cheaply and quickly as we have neither time nor the funds. One sound immediately sprung to mind, this was the sound of the doors sliding open and shut in the Star War films. This was created merely by a piece of paper being pulled from an envelope, however we tried this idea for our opening shot which we would use it to show a quick transition between a jumping shot. This was ineffective and we decided against it, as we where have a group debate about more ideas i noticed a pair of metal scissors on the disk, I picked them up and open and closed them rapidly, we all agreed that we thought this would go well with one particular shot. When we added we still thought it was quite right for this shot. Lyle and i come up with the idea of adding an echoing effect so that each click was prolonged, we all agreed this sounded better and would be the sound FX we would use for this shot.
