SOUND

We wanted our opening sequence to rely mainly on sound to convert the plot line of the movie and give a backstory. For this, we created a song and incorporated it into a radio broadcast.


OUR SONG.

We wanted the song in our film to play heavily with juxtaposition. The themes in our film are quite dystopic and hopeless so we went against this and created an almost music box like piece. The song features acoustic software instruments from garageband.

RADIO BROADCAST.

When we were happy with our song, we exported it to iTunes and began to record the radio broadcasts. The broadcast is how we conveyed the backstory of our movie, an apocalyptic future in which a vaccine turns patients into zombie-like creatures. We used different sound settings to make the different voices distinctive and create an interesting sound texture. We even translated dialogue into other languages using google translate and recorded the computer reading the dialog to emphasise that the whole world is included in the plot.

We also included garageband foley such as sirens and the sound of dogs barking.
