Soundtrack

The soundtrack for my film is called Hurricane, I think it’s perfect for the genre of my film as it’s mysterious but has a fast up beat tempo at times. The reason I want a soundtrack is mainly to build on the suspense I am looking to create but at the same time I’m hoping it will give my film a certain look and also make people remember it if they remember the song. As it is a well-recognized song throughout the world, hopefully if people hear the song with my movie they will link the two together.

Equipment

As I will be doing the majority of my editing at school I will be using Final Cut express, this is very useful and also very advanced for film making and editing. I will be using a Canon HV30 HDV Digital camcorder to use for filming, there are only 2 available at school but I know if one wasn’t available then I could use the other one, it has both HD (High Definition) and SD (standard definition) modes, although I will be using SD as with HD, it will be a lot more time consuming due to the memory being bigger and rendering would take almost 4 times as long, plus if I do have to use another camera they will also have to be HD and not every camera is compatible so I think it would be safe to use SD mode. I will be using a brand new iMac Computer for all my work, as I have been using these for the best part of 4 years I think I have quite a good experience of using them so this shouldn’t be a problem for me. For my ancillary tasks I will be using Photoshop for both, I have also been using this software for a long time now and I think I have a good understanding of it.
