- To create this sound track i plan on working with two people, Aidan Bell and Kirk Duncan. They will help me to figure out the sounds and instruments i would like to use for the soundtrack they will also play the instruments as i have no skills in playing. They will have no influence over the final sound as i will make sure it is my own choice of style and sound. They will help to edit the work together to make the best sound track possible.
-The only other person involved for the sound track would be me. If this was a major film there would be many other people involved for example the director the producer and the editor they would have a huge influence in the music choice and the sounds created for the film.
What is Spotting?
The spotting session is when a director and composer get together to watch the film and decide where the music is going to be and what it’s going to do. This occurs before the composer starts writing the music.
What is a Locked Picture?
Picture locking is the stage in a editing a film when all changes to the film have been done and approved. It is then sent on too other stages such as audio mixing. It allows the composer to have a final picture to create his sound track too as discussed in the spotting session.

Location report
Open Field (Camp Site)
This site had no acoustics there is also a risk of noise from airplanes and wind.
For this filming i would use a shotgun mic and potentially a hidden clip mic to pic up the actors well. I would also use a wind guard to decreases the chance of overpowering wind noise.
Campsite hall.
This location once again has no acoustics, there is a risk of echoing because of the type of space, I will pad the walls to reduce the amount of echo to create a cleaner sound of the actors talking and use a shotgun mic without the wind guard to make sure the best sound is picked up.
Software.
I have many softwares available to me.
Garage band
Soundtrack pro
Final cut pro
To me they all have a similar set up, you can create and edit your own soundtrack you input.
i would prefer to use soundtrack pro as it is the one i feel most comfortable with and has more soundscapes and foley that i could use in the film.
