soundtrack edit

This is the soundtrack edit we did using garageband. We used 3 instruments (church bell, bass drum and snare) and played an intro which falls into time with the instrumental imported after. After using the initial soundtrack of rusteeq we decided that it would appropriate to add a section with instruments to play in the opening titles and then fade into the initial soundtrack. After listening to the song we were able to recreate the loop using the the software on garage band to create the various sounds in the track. we then listened to the edited soundtrack and played it alongside to rough edit of the sequence to see where rusteeq could be layered or edited to fit the mood. We now intend to make the necessary changes to the soundtrack to create an improved version of what we already have.

As are opening sequence consists of of a man being chased by hit-men we thought that it would be appropriate for our characters to be in possession of weapons. This would fit the mise-en-scene as out characters are meant to be dangerous men and carrying guns would give the impression that these are violent people who are about to kill. We had to ask for permission from the local police to film with weapons as pulling out fake guns on the street could have caused distress to local bystanders and may have encouraged irrational behaviour. due to this we decided to make the visibility of these weapons limited to stop unwanted attraction.
