Using Sound

Lousisa took us to the computer suite again were Mickey introduced us to a Casino Royal Sound Software. The software featured sound editors, sound creatos who informed me through short clips, how to use the software as well as, sound and the soundtrack effictively.

After watching these clips we had to do the following. Firstly, we ha a task of using the given sounds and music, to create the sound for a still image from Casino Royale. There were 4 shots, one being a busy street, outside in the desert, etc. We had to match sound and alter their volume levels until it sounded real, normal and likeable to the ear.

After the still images we went and saw few more footages of the sound editors and sound crew of Casino Royale. The next task was to put sound and music onto a moving scene from the film. I chose the scence where James Bond is in the casino gambling.
Although, i found it hard to get the sound exactly at the right time needed, i was able to create sound which matched the moving image, implementing sounds such as, cards being placed down, playing with chips, the spy soundtrack and dialogue.

I found the lesson very enjoyable as i learned how to in corperate sound as well as, watch clips from a great Spy/Action Thriller.
