Soundtrack and music

Adding sound to our film proved quite difficult and strenuous but we finally managed to achieve the desired outcome. As we had to reshoot several scenes, the soundtrack work already added to the film was seperated and merged with other sound effects when we added the new scenes. We had to start the sound editing again and managed to make it better than it was previously.
          
  We included fast paced action music for the chase scene and dramatic music for the board room scene.

  We included sound effects like gunshots as we could not create a realistic gunshot sound ourselves. We also added in the panther sound effect to our own made production title at the beginning. 

One actor was particually quiet during one scene and so we had to re-record his dialogue and dub it over the original scene. We used fast paced action music which souned quite funky to down-play the tension in the chase scene. The effect we wanted was for the scene to be serious but not too serious.

We faded the music in and out and created sound bridges from one scene to the next to take our audience seemingly from one shot to the next. The faded music seemingly slips away to reveal the dramatic conference room scene and fades back in to the action packed chase scene!

Sound editing had many issues but all were overcome and we achieved the desired effect.
