The sound was such a key part to my film project. And at first I was insistent of sticking to a script, and focusing strongly on the dialogue within the narrative. But after watching the first draft of footage back, I decided against the use of dialogue, mainly due to the difficulty of recording the sound, This came from things such as the wind (as we filmed outside) and the distance of the characters to the microphone which was situated on the camera itself.
At this stage I had to begin researching into a score (music) that would fit the genre of the film, and still allow the audience to be able to follow the narrative. I wanted a soundtrack that didn't take away from the visual element of the film; but enhanced it. So I began researching different types/genre's of music, this ranged from Upbeat action music, to slower darker music.
Eventually I decided on using a Classical piece. The music fitted the cinematography so well, and really elevated my perception of the film. The structure of the song really worked well with the narrative of the film. The music almost builds with the film and really helps create impact. As the climactic point of the narrative draws closer, the music does also.
