Soundtrack

The soundtrack for the film will be almost, if not entirely composed by me and my partner, Sam Thomas.
We will be using the Garageband software. We both attended a workshop on composing music in Garageband at the recent Coop Young Filmmakers Festival.

I recorded the music for the film by initially making a drum track out of loops in Garageband at school.

I then took this home and played around on guitar trying out different chord sequences until I was happy with them.

When I was ready to record I used a program called Tracktion and imported the drum track into there before using a piece of hardware called a Stealthplug to record the lead, rhythm and bass guitars over the top, using another piece of software called Amplitube to apply filters for different sounds.

The product of this resulted in a song which we felt wouldn't really fit in our own production but which was donated to a fellow student, Holly Davy.

Our own production required a slower sort of track so I went back into Garageband and made a slower, more jazzy drum track before settling on just using bass for a more lazy "just woken up" feel.
