School Rules Movie Analysis

Our task was to create a film based on the mis en scene, 10 words/text was the limit.

We created the movie on Imovie and rearranged all of the clips to create the film. We then needed to make a soundtrack to our film.

The first thing we did was open Garage Band. To make sure that the soundtrack went exactly in time with the text, we needed to somehow get the movie into the Garage Band and create the soundtrack to go with the movie.

We did this by selecting ''track'', and then selecting ''show video track''.

This enabled us to drag our video from Imovie into garage band. We dragged the movie into the space where is said ''drag movie here, along the top, as you can see on the screenshot, the film clips are running along the top of the screen.  To mute the original audio from the movie, we selected the speaker button which is on the left hand side of the screenshot, highlighted blue. 

To then start creating our own music for the soundtrack, we selected ''new track'' in the ''track'' settings. That brought up a new icon on the left hand side, below the original audio. We selected the 'eye' at the bottom left of the screen, which showed us different music types. On the right, in the middle of the page, there was an option of the music software list. We chose what music we thought went best with the atmosphere of the film, and what emotion we wanted to provoke on the audience. We started recording the music by pressing the red circle button which means record. We used the keyboard to create a tune whilst recording, we were also watching the movie whilst  recording this so we knew exactly what it would look and sound like.

We created new tracks so that the music would play together on different instruments, so the soundtrack was beginning to work.
