City Of God Remake

 

Recently in class we were given an exercsise by our tutor Mike. We were given a thirty second clip from the film the City Of God to Edit.

 

• What the film looked like

 

The clip, which had been muted, was a sequence which was lasted for thirty seconds. It started off with a young boy being chased by a mob and police officers, midway through the clip the scene transformed into the same boy a few years younger playing football in a park with some other children

 

• What I attempted to create

Using the Soundtrack Pro software I attempted to create a realistic soundscape for the scene using the most natural and artistic sounds although I sought advice from Phil one of the lectures in the university who lectures creative media and he liked my idea but thought i should go for the simple option instead of complicating my video by saturating it with a lot of sounds.

 

• How I found using the Soundtrack  Pro software

I found the Soundtrack Pro software very easy to use when adding the sounds to a particular motion displayed on the clip. I enjoyed being creative with the software especially when using the multilayering and keyframing format as the software was very easy to adapt to.

• What would I change if I were to do it again?

If i were to repeat the exercise, I  would add more of an atmosphere during the crowd scenes as I don't think the crowd noise I added to that particular sequence was strong enough to merit the actual picture in that present time but more or less I am happy with my finished edit.
