I first imported the sound effects and soundtrack my copying the embed codes onto a mp4 downloader. Next, you download the like as an mp4 which then will be saved onto iTunes and then you can drag it onto your desktop. Next I moved the sound files(saved as mp4) on to Premiere pro ready to edit. Nest I unlinked the sound and stated to edit there and soundtrack and sound effects will go. While editing, I changed the volume by right clicking and the audio I wand to edit and changed the volume to the audience could hear the dialogue. I used the time codes to show at what point I should use the sound effects the the right time to make then effective.

One strength on scoring my audio was it was easy find and was easy to find what kind of sounds I wanted to find that would be suitable for the film. One thing I could improve on was to make sure that the sound was non-copy righted as I tried editing my video I realized its copyrighted. One strength on creating my own sounds was that it was an easy process. Just a few simple knocks on a door. One I could imrpove on is to make sure I could add morem of my foly sound into my film. I feel like I could of addad more into it. One thing that went well while editing the sound into my film was unliking the sound and diciding where it is going to go and how suitible it was. The areas I could improve on in future projects is to add more Foley sound and add more then just a knock on the door.

In the first part of the short film, we recorded some dialogue to show what the scientists are going to do in the film. I used the iPhone 8 mic to capture the sound of the dialogue of what the scientist are saying. This photograph from the film show the scientist talking about the experiment. In this photo, one of the scientists his hiding from the monster after here it knocking on the doors. I recorded another clip to create a knocking sound by knocking on a door. I recorded the knocking sound also using the iPhone 8 mic. When editing, I unlinked the knocking sound from the actual video to create the foley sound. I positioned the sound file to synchronize with the actions.

The main website I used to find my sound effects and soundtrack was youtube. Non Copyrighted Scary Music | Ghost story- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAoedjZnvqQ Creepy Laugh- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiqN6F7WFxQ Screaming Monster no.1- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Bi-U_4kuM Male Screams no. 2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8BVJcPNiLE The reason why we need to use non-copyrighted music is due to copyright strikes. You could be at risk getting your video if not your entire youtube channel taken down from youtube or you could even be fined thousands of pounds for using music without the appropriate license.

Diegetic sound Diegetic sound is sound that can be heard from the characters in a film or a tv show and can be heard from the audience watching it. It can be on or off screen as long as it has score or object coming out of it. For example,  one scene in the Si-Fi film EX Machina, the Main protagonist dances with the robot while the song "Get down Saturday night" plays in the background to try and communicate with the robot. The use of the diegetic sound is effective because to try and show the audience that the robot has some emotion. She is dancing to the music to try and humanize her. http://www.optimismvaccine.com/home/the-20-best-uses-of-diegetic-music-in-film Another example is a scene from The house of the devil where the main protagonist walks round a house dancing while listening music. This use of diegetic sound is used to the upbeat personality of the main protagonist which is junkstaposed my the seemingly dark and depressing house she's living in. ...
