Sound effects or music for our film.

A film always need a form of sound for action role play in any genre and setting:
Our film is to do with gangstas so we need to consider that guns are fired, maybe explosions occur, and shouting is involved.
Now when me and Ian were looking at this type of activity its a kind of problem to us, as we want our film as successful as possible, the guns and explosion noises are easy to cover but the major task was do we need a hint of music towards it and will it be effective??

We could of used soundtracks today but due to copyright we cannot be allowed to represent in our film we had a major impact on what we chosen?
So we had to look at other various things, we first looked at films but action films as it gives us a more easier choice and idea of what music needs to played either during a fight scene or when a major dilemma occurs m, maybe a powerful classical or a heavy and effective sound from a guitar.

So looking at films we came across this which we think is good in some ways:



So from this clip we get these types of forms:
Right at the start we get the sound of 10 machines guns going off, so me and Ian now have a idea what impact and devices it gives off to make it effective, this type of action could be used anywhere really and the sound is not to loud and not to silent which is good for an example.

From 0.22 you can hear the footstep of running which indicates that a type of action is coming into place and then the music starts to come into play and sounds of impact.

SOUNDS OF IMPACT: Hearing the sound of impact on this film they sound the weapons are being swung at a fast and high pace, this shows the impact of the anger within the character and how much it could hurt or kill. Also it indicates movement and can be fighting with weapons or just hand to hand combat which helps us more towards finding the best outcome.

TYPE OF MUSIC: The type of music that's been used for this clip is very effective but it may not be for the type of our film, the music for this clip blends very well with what goings on, its not out of place and not annoying and the type of music is classical, classical can show emotion of fights and passion of fight which goes well with maxtrix and it futuristic action. But it gives us a example of how music can blend into a fight scene we just need to find the right ingredients and genre to get ours.

So looking at our part we looked at the opening scene of snatch again and listened to the backing tune in the background and we thought........

SOUND EFFECTS FOR OUR FILMING: We found this was easy to come up with. As it gangsta type of film we need gun shots bangs crashes shouting and the sudden quietness when the action.

So what we're looking for is the sound of gun shots which is easy to encounter and from the example clip we can pick up the perfect sounds, we might come across a car scene but the only problem is no one can drive and we cant crash a car just for a movie clip as it costs a bomb to fix.

So we are looking for different routes for that maybe we have a character walking and then we put in the sound of car crash and then the camera moves the way the sound went.

Also from the maxtix clip we found that sounds of footstep starts off a action scene so we will use this as we are using a action scene.

The sounds of hands swinging we may do it shows the force of the punch but it may not be realistic and go with our film, but as we want abit of over the top we could use it.

DO WE NEED A MUSIC TYPE FOR THIS FILM?: To be honest I dont think it we need it, i think a sudden rush of guns and sounds of impacts will fit perfect and clean spoken lines for a characters when fighting a good example of this is

So from this we can see the impact the weapons and gun shot surrounded can make a scene effective effective and successful, (ok there a hint of sound in the background) but the loudness of the impact covers over that, i say the louder the better.
Also when will smith dives and they use the effect of the bullet I think it's a brilliant effect of the bullet it shows the impact of a bullet and what it can do and also how the sound is transfered to this bullet makes it more effetive in ways of the impact and movement and the slow motion makes it whole idea, so if we can we might use this to slow the action and pase down and show how effective one character can be (maybe hunter or smig). (PS sorry for use of swear words and any things that harms your ears :P).

RESULTS: After me and Ian had a discussions about this in a lesson we came to a decision of just loud action, our film genre could use music but its not effective as a rush of action and lots of gun shots and sound, as our film is over the top action and gangsta we think its better just to have clean in your face loud action from start to end, just like the example of bad boys =).
