I truly believe that sound design and music account
for 50 percent of the success of a film.
Can you imagine Jurassic Park without
the iconic sound of the T-Rex and without the epic music.
Can you imagine Star Wars without the sound effect
of the lightsaber and without Imperial March,
those two films would simply not be the same.
Sound design is as important as the image itself.
I highly recommend you to work on the music as early as possible.
As soon as you have the story and the script,
you should start thinking about it.
Don't forget that the music is here to support the story and to reinforce the emotions.
Working on sound effects and music is not a simple task.
If you don't feel comfortable with it,
like me, don't hesitate to work with a professional sound designer.
Trust me, it's worth it.
In my case, for the music, I used premiumbit.com.
I like this website.
It is very good and everything is perfectly clear,
especially in terms of licensing,
but if you have the possibility to work directly with musicians,
that is definitely the best.
As we talked about earlier,
the music is extremely important as it needs to reinforce the emotion of your film.
In this specific shot,
[inaudible] just realized that blue fell down the tree.
He tries to run down the trunk as
fast as possible in order to get to the bottom of the clearing.
I'd like you to take a look at this shot without the music first,
and you're going to see how blended feels.
We do understand that something is happening,
but it's not enough to really give us the chills
and to make us feel something. Take a look at it.
Now, I'd like you to take a look at
the final results and see how the music changed everything.
