i have a wide collection of sounds now and am going to begin to layer them up to produce a sound track for my project. i went to a friends recording studio who is a producer by profession. he let me use his space and equipment. i opened up all my sounds and sketched down on paper a rough plan of how i wanted it, still keeping in mind this crescendo idea.
Above is a screen grab of the project when i was working within fruity loops. its pretty late on in the making of the initial track but still there was more final edits to do before i brought it back to final cut to edit it further. when making some of the sounds that where duplicated and reversed. echos where added. reverb was added to a duplicated siren so that it didnt repeat its self. one of the things that was done was to change what speaker certain noises came out of, there is one bit where there is two quick edits and in time with this there are two car horns. the first horn comes out of a different speaker to the next one. i like this effect as it happens during the end and its all a bit chaotic and i wanted it to feel like more and more traffic is surrounding you.
This is one of the versions with the sound track and the sleep footage. it has not been finely tuned in final cut and that is what i wish to do. i want to make the quite bass space sounds of the sleeping scenes loader and also make it more intense at the end.i reckon i could add some thing extra to the sleeping bits in terms of noise. i like the alarm choice at the end because i nearly used a digital alarm. i had around 5 different alarm noises to use and tried all of them but the classic alarm worked best as its more obvious what it is in just a short time. the modern beeping alarm sounded a bit odd and it may not of been clear what it was at the end.
