Audio on montage

For our montage that will go at the start of our video we had to include some sounds of the surrounding area. Listening to other montages it seems that natural sounds such as wind, cars and birds seem common. However we wanted to take in to consideration our themes.


URBAN SOUNDS


Living in a moderately urban area ourselves and not far from the city of London we already had a good idea of the kind of sound we wanted to achiever however we really wanted to set the scene for the rest of our video. The sounds we decided on were

• Sirens - Highlights the area and has a feeling of danger
• Wind - creates tension and drama
• Drones - drones are perfect for thickening sounds

Our next step was to find these sounds, although some are available on imovie we wanted to experiment with some more raw sounds.

We found the lgfl sound network and discovered some great sounds on it. The site had a huge selection of sounds and we were able to download them for free and use them on the start of our montage.
