Post Production Screen Grabs

Along the way we took a few screen grabs of the editing process so that it was easier for you to get a picture of what we went through. 

The first screen grab below shows how we manipulated the pan on different sounds. The pan tells you which ear you're hearing the sound from, this is generally in the middle but we took certain sectioned and turned it all the way up to left or down to right and layered them on top of each other. This can be predominantly heard in the whispers section of the sound piece, I feel that it works quite effectively in giving you a creepy voices inside your head type feel. We also used this in the car section where it seems as though the car is coming on your left and zooms past you to the right. It puts you right in the action. 

This next screen grab shows how we manipulated effects such as the scream and the footsteps to give the effects that we were in an echoed room (Reverb). We could change the "Size" of the room as well as how much effect was but on to the actual clip. This was fun to play around with because you know that no matter how many times you choose to use this effect that you can make it sound a different so that you don't even realise that you're using the same sound effect. We didn't use it in a lot of places mainly the beginning where we wanted to make out that the female was in an echoed hypnosis room and the odd time during the whole piece when we wanted to portray themes of loneliness.

This last screen grab just looks at the equaliser tablet and how we used to to make the sounds we recorded sound more alien than when we recorded it. A good example of this would be the transitions into and out of the sequence as well as it's usage to take off the frequency from certain sound files such as the scream. I think this is one of the most useful and diverse effect manipulator, there's just so much you can play around with within it to create a range of sounds or remove any unwanted sounded from a pre recorded sound clip.

There were a range of other effects that were useful in creating this sound piece but i think the three mentioned above were the most beneficial in creating our sense of space sound piece.
