I decided to use this lesson adding sound to the film. If I had more time and freedom with this project I would have tried to find a way to use a song as the soundtrack as I think the use of a song as a soundtrack would have been really effective but for copyright reasons this was not allowed. I started by thinking about what sounds I needed, I already had some good sound in the film which I wanted to keep for example running water, but some parts of the film had the director shouting 'cut', 'rolling on' etc. To get rid of this I had to select the line which represented line on the sound part and move it down which reduces the volume, I found I could also use the sound tool to make the sound reduce or increase gradually. When I had chosen the sounds I wanted I moved them all into a folder and saved them so they would not get lost, I then chose the part of the sound I wanted by using the same shortcuts as I used to select film and dragging it down to where I wanted it. I then played around with the volume and whether I wanted the ambient noise played behind it or not.



We also had a group meeting in this lesson to decide on the title for our film. We came up with a lot of ideas. Till death do us part, Death of a lady and red water. We chose to go with Death of a Lady as this was most relevant to our film and intruiging to an audience.
