The Dark Knight Sound Task: Evaluation

The Dark Knight Sound Task: Evaluation

This task was very difficult in my opinion as I found it very tough to time the music effectively to the video itself while it was muted and made an out of tune piece. I was also frustrated by the lack of sounds I was able to use as they did not fit the theme of the story for the majority of the time which caused problems for me.

I also found it took a very long time to find the sounds that fitted and even then I had to edit them notably for a long time just to get the sound to make logistical sense to what was happening on screen. I also found it hard to make an echoing noise in Garageband which I needed for drum beats within the song which made the music for the opening scene sound wooden and ridged. I also found the some of the sounds to be either too short or too long for me to use in the scene.

In conclusion I feel that this task was very hard to do. I do feel that I will get used to using GarageBand over time but this was quite a significant step up from the previous sound task and was a little irritating due to the lack of choices for the opening scene!

This is my evaluation of the sound test we were given in lesson. This task was necessary for me to learn how to use garageband and get used to soundtracking films. It is important for me to learn from this and improve in my garageband skills.
