Soundtrack sheet 1

The soundtrack for my single camera drama I want it to be intense, mysterious and dramatic. I want my soundtrack to help the narrative move along the story and help the audience have some background of the characters they are following in the film.

Soundtrack 1: Church bells


I will use a soundtrack of church bells and birds to create a natural but mysterious atmosphere. Most of the scenes are set outside or in a church so I want to create a natural setting. This will show the peaceful sound of the church bells but also how wildlife is affected.

Live sound: On the days of filming the live sound will mostly be the vocal recording and some background sound of the area for a backup so the vocals have a sound to overlap which will give the films sound a more natural affect. Only in two or three scenes I will use live sound for example the door closing or when the main character asks for forgiveness.

ADR sound: I will use ADR for some dialogue just as a backup incase on the day the microphone doesn’t pick up the vocal or if the vocals aren’t at the standard to edit in weather its because they are too quite or have cracking over it.  I will mostly use SFX sound will be heavy edited to give a chilling and mysterious atmosphere to the church and the main character. The office scene will be heavily ADR sound because I want to create an echo of an old grandfather clock showing time slowly passing which will be the soundtrack the

Music will play a big part in my film, the scenes that are inside the church I want church hymns to create a more peaceful and calm environment compared to the scene in the office, which is the most intense in the film.


The ambient everyday sounds, such as birds, wind, the lights, clock will be brought in so it gives the scenes a more natural feel and helps develop each scene throughout the film.
