Music

Once I had roughly put my trailer together, I needed to add a soundtrack to go along with. I knew before I started work on the soundtrack, the kind of sound I was aiming for, which is slow moving, minimal piano track. Soundtrack pro is the programme I used to compose my soundtrack, as it has over 5000 loyalty free loops and sound effects

available.

Here is the browser featured in Soundtrack Pro, which is used to find loops. Because I already knew what kind of music I wanted, I used the search tabs of the browser and simply typed in piano. It came up with hundreds of loops, and i worked my way through until I found some that I like.

Once I have found some that I like I click and dragged them across to the main window of the programme. Instead of editing them together in Soundtrack Pro, I saved each loop as an individual file and dropped them into Final Cut Express which is the programme I used to edit the film together.

Once placed into Final Cut, I was able to fade the loops in and out using the basic keyframing tool.
