Now that you have managed to get your sequences shot, it is time to think about sound and the important part it plays in film narrative. You know something scary or sad is about to happen in a film by the sound that precedes it. You know that thunder, lightening and rain are used as a cue to signal the begining of an unfortunate chain of events in some films, and this is done by well timed sound FX that match the visual you see on screen.
Today, once your sequences have been uploaded, you task is to get familar with Garageband and create a sound track that works with what is happening in the narrative. Your sequence should have a building of tension as the argument over the calculator gets more heated; have a listen to the sounds available in Garageband and create something that you think fits this.
GARAGEBAND BASIC
1. Open Garageband
2. Choose ‘Loops’
3. Name your song
4. Preview sounds in the right hand column
5. Drag and drop sounds you want to use into the middle column
6. Modify the length of sounds by cutting them (Command+T)
7. Match the sounds in Garageband to the precise time you want to hear them in iMove. You can do this by noting the time you wish to here a sound in iMovie and placing that sound at the some point on the Garageband timeline.
