Garage Band

We had a lesson on a programme called Garage Band recently, which is basically about putting music into a film or short clip etc. In this lesson we learnt about the effects that music had on a film and to the viewers watching, it can cause tension with the smallest of sounds or romanticise the story but having a soft tune in the background. This lesson was the first time I had used this programme garage band, so it was quite tricky to work as I was new to it, however having been on it a couple of times and from this lesson, when a teacher went through it with us, I have a better understanding and feel I can work the programme quite well. During the lesson we made graphs which symbolized what was going on with the film in time with the music, along the bottom of the graph represented the film, and the line going up on the graph was the music, so having the timing of the film and the music enabled us to get the timings right. Overall the graph length is the complete time of the film which contains the loudest, quietest and highest, lowest of the music. A film we looked at in our class was ‘The Black Hole’.   -  the clip  in the post above was the one that we focused on, in the next post on my blog I will go into further detail of the film.
