Sound of Sprinting and Football



This is the sound effect that we want to use with the scenes with Isaac sprinting towards the ball and him playing football. This sound effect can link well with the how we are planning to film and it can link perfectly if we get the timing of the sound on point which will make it seem if it sounded exactly to what Isaac's actions are going to be as such as if he was sprinting towards the ball, the footsteps will be clearly heard. This will make the clips look so much better just because the sound linked so good to the action of the character. We think this sound effect will be the best sound to use purely because we know if the timing goes well with the scenes it will make the opening so much better due to it linking perfectly well.

Roundabout Traffic, Cars, Bus, Horns, Braking Sound Effects



In our opening we also wanted to use a Roundabout Traffic, Cars, Bus, Horns, Braking Sound Effects because this sound is also Non-Diegetic which we wanted to use throughout our opening as it can link well with The Gang to show the urban, street life and this sound will be mainly used for the introduction of The Gang in our product. The reason being this sound effect will go well as the gang will be outside in a gritty environment and because we wanted to make our product look more like real life this sound effect was perfect. The use of cars, buses and traffic in the background will show that The Gang are in our really hectic environment, also, from the seeing the stairs of where we want to portray The gangs main hangout and with the construction going on in the area you can see that its an up and coming area, trying to get fixed up and being developed to improve the area. But we want to show The Gang near the construction site where it is unsafe and this shows that The Gang are using this dangerous area with all this dangerous equipment to their benefit in making the area still unsafe even if its up and coming. The sound will link well because of the fact The Gang are outside and because it is an urban area it will help demonstrate the street life in Britain making the opening look more like real life. Also, with these reasons it gives us more confident in using the Non-Diegetic sound.

Heavy Breathing Sound



In our opening we decided to use Non Diegetic sounds because we wanted to show the British youth life as the way it would normally be on a normal day and chose to do this as it would show the Urban, Gritty environment. The sounds we are planning to use will prove to link well in our opening due to the fact it goes well we have planned what to film and where each sound is going to be placed and because of our genre being Urban, Youth Culture when you see a gang being introduced they normally have Diegetic sound in the background, most likely being Rap music but we thought it would be better if we showed the actual street life in Britain and just to make it look more like real life so it links better with our genre.

In the beginning of our opening we want to use Non-Diegetic sound and this sound being of Heavy Breathing because we wanted to create a sound bridge throughout the early moments of the opening and mainly the sound of Heavy Breathing will link well with what we are planning to show in our product which is the moment with one of our main characters (Isaac) showing his determination and dedication for his football career. You are going to see that he is focused by the way the camera is going to move, it's going to be a tracking shot from the right side to the left and you will notice that it looks like he is breathing heavily, this is why we specifically chose this sound effect because it will link up well with how we are going to introduce Isaac. From his face expressions you will see his determination and dedication and this shows his passion for football. Also, we wanted our audience to feel his passion and to see that he is hard working and committed by making his body language and face expressions in a specific way, we did this because we believe this will be a good way to show his passion.
