Part 3: Post-Production-Sound Research

Wednesday, 16th December 2009

On Wednesday I made a list of Music Research I have undertaken during the last two practical lessons as well as my own time. Using variety of music websites.

upon these research I have decided to categorise them into suitable places within our Crime Drama as demonstrated below with the cilps:

Beginning Song:

‘Prison Break’



Sound Effects:

‘Police Serine’
‘Slap’
‘Footsteps’







Middle and End Music List:‘

















I have decided to choose ‘Prison Break’ as it begins with female voice, therefore, it symbolises our central character-Lady Villain.

The choices of the sound effect was based on the footage I have seen, during the editing process, I believed by adding police serine at the beginning of our Crime Drama, will create a sense of reality of the police being presented within the area-New Town. In this way, it will make more realistic and more sense to the audience when the police arrives towards the end of our Crime Drama. Moreover, the use of slap and the footsteps sound effect will be used to give information regarding to the characters actions. I gained the idea by following a typical Crime convention. This will also develop the narrative and the characters to the climax of the Crime Drama itself.

In order to, develop this climax moment within the Crime Drama, i have decided to put in a fast-tempo of the music when the police arrives, also following the convention from NCIS. This will give the sense to the audience something dramatic is going to appear within the Crime Drama. This will create a tensed and sinister atmosphere for them.

Finally, for the end music I have decided to follow the prior idea of having a female voice, along with fast-tempo of music to leave the audience with a energetic and a interesting mood towards our New Television Crime Drama.

In summary, all these sound categorisations of music and sound effect will support the group to start on the post-production after the Charismas Holidays. Although I to need request and discuss second opinions from my group members about sound ideas. In order to, allow me to make changes, add ideas or leave the ideas how they are currently.

Hopefully, this is my job-role completed within the group now.

As a result, I will start to refer to the Target Audience for our NEW TELEVISON CRIME DRAMA.
