OCCULT PRODUCTION DOCUMENTATION

The plan for the sound in our film would be crucial to the effect that we wanted to create for our audience. We decided that we wanted the film to be 'affecting', though not necessarily scary. As one of the sound recordists, I decided to find some sounds around my home that could be warped and edited to create dramatic soundscapes. I also recorded some sound during the shoot in Sylvester Gardens so that we would have some authentic sound effects to use.

We found that it was difficult to plan how the sound of the film would come together without knowing what felt right. So instead of planning thoroughly what we would do in Soundtrack in advance, we created a silent edit which we then exported into soundtrack pro, and used sounds that we had already processed and edited them together where they felt like they created an atmosphere.
