Sound lesson.

Rob and Aidan have been looking for sound to go over our flashbacks for a while now and he finally came up with a good beat after his brother showed him how to mix it.
Once we had all listened to it and given our approval, we dove into putting the backing track to the flash backs.
We wanted to make sure that it sounded as though the music was coming from downstairs at the 'house party' and therefore wanted it to be slightly quiet and muffled.
There is one part of the music that Rob thought would be good to put behind the rape scene as it has a gunshot in it, so did.
Seeing as our deadline was the Friday we needed to make sure we had the sound in that was completely necessary, being the sound of the bass music on the flashbacks.
Once this was done we only now needed the titles.
We had already decided that Rob would be producer because he was pretty much in control of the editing, we just all put in our ideas and told him what we preferred to what we didn't and he knew how to work the programme. We also decided that I would be director because when on set I was in control of how everything was done and which shots needed to be taken and where about they needed to be. We decided that Aidan would be a co-producer seeing as he had been pretty close with Rob in the editing stages. And we finally chose Sarah to be our manager or research and planning seeing as she wrote up all of the storyboards and also did the shots list. Yet, we may change that to her being the manager of Screenplay.
The name of our production 'company' came from all of our first letters of first names. This then spelt out 'CARS' and this is therefore where our first title name came from. Putting 'Fast' in front of it just made it have a slightly better ring to it.
I also asked Rob if he could bring in the production title as though a car was coming onto the screen and then stopping. Everyone agreed with this idea and then Rob decided he wanted three racing stripes which then fade to make it relevant to our 'FAST CARS' title.
I then suggested that we have the same type of movement within our named titles to make it look as though our titles were also moving. Rob liked the idea of rolling titles but it seemed to me as though they were a bit too 'credit-like' and therefore having them 'crawl' to the left or right in sequence made them look a bit different to anything else. We chose a white colour font and capitals with the same font as in the production title to make it continuous and stand out from the scenes they would be on top of.
