Soundtrack or incidental music

In terms of our soundtrack, we mostly used subtle/sorrowful music, which is non-diegetic. This was used mainly to introduce the film in the montage scene, the park scene where the character communicates his feelings, and the end scene where the movie came to its conclusion. The purpose of this was to set the mood for our film throughout, along with conveying the mood for each scene.



Another sound manipulation was when it came to editing the last scene. The scene was originally just dialogue, which was diegetic, however, we felt that the scene would end well with some music playing. So we added a piece of music called 'A dog in the boiler', which was non diegetic. This music was suitable in terms of conveying the character's change of emotion, especially as he kicks the chair in anger. When we first played the music with the scene, it was a bit difficult in hearing the conversation that Tyler was having with his 'friends'. So I stretched the grey button across the soundtrack, so that when the music starts playing, it would fade in, meaning that it would slowly increase the volume and that we could hear the dialogue at the beginning.

Evaluating feedback

When we finished editing our short film, we did a focus group, in which we had some people come and watch our film and asked them to give so...
