Name of Production: Shaun of the Dead

• What feel or mood are you hoping to achieve with the sound for this clip (i.e. how do you want the audience to feel and at which points in the scene?  Describe the music/soundscape are you going to add to the clip  (pace, tone, style, pitch - you can use the musical terms we have discussed in class) and what response you hope to elicit in a listener.    

I tried to mimic the feel from the original clip.

• Where will you get your music from? (pre-recorded music; public domain, licensed, own) and what considerations do you need to be aware of when using music/sounds?

I will get royalty free music from Incompetech so I can use it for free.

• What foley sounds are you going to record in the studio and add to this clip and what will they add to the scene:

I will make a few basic sound effects (eg: putting down the basket)

• Do you need to record any sounds out on location, if so which?

I won't be able to go out for any recordings so all recording will have to be done in the studio

• Who will be in your recording crew to help you get your sounds and what are their individual roles and responsibilities?

I will be working with Ryan Case for recording the sound effects.
