Making a soundtrack.


  • For part of our trailer we wanted to make a sound track from scratch so that it was completely original. For this we used 'LogicPro' so that we could make and combine different sounds to make a track.
  • To start with we used a keyboard to make certain sounds, the track had to be around 20 seconds long so we started with an underlying sound as a bass. 
  • We then started experimenting with different sounds from the keyboard by changing the pitch and style of sound. On 'Logic' you are able to change the settings so that you press down on a key on the keyboard and it makes a completely different sound for example, a bell ringing. 
  • We then downloaded different sound effects e.g. Saw-FX, which was sawing sound, we repeated this sound so that the horror effect was enhanced.
  • There was a total of 15 individual sound effects which we edited together to make our soundtrack, and for some of them we synthesised the sound, or added a deeper bass so that is sounded creepier. For the 'Bassline3' (see above) we increased the volume so that it became a deeper bass sound.                                                                                        For some of the sounds I layered them over each other so that the soundtrack increased its intensity as the trailer went on.
