Audio Arts IIIB – Major Project, Semester 2, 2008: Film Sound


As most of you have endeavored to squish your movie down to a civilised file size, I have taken it upon myself to do the same – thanks to some video compression tutoring from the multi-skilled J. Delany. Most of the changes made to this cut have been subtle, such as fine tuning footstep alignment and volume levels. I conceded backing off the sound of running water from the “looking out the window” scene and replaced it with something of a more chilling ambient variety. EQ was applied to various sounds that were a little too stark on their own, and delay was added in the final scene for ‘terror’ enhancing colouration.


As is always the case with such a project, there were things I would change in hindsight, but I think given the timeframe and objectives of the task it has been a success.

Well done again on the clip - I think the piano lines are great, as well as the breathing effects. This was probably the most intense of the soundtracks presented!

Excellent, I was going for metal brutality as expressed by a frustrated orchestral string section and classical piano player, for they realise all too late they have chosen the wrong path...
