In class, I was taught how to use Soundtrack Pro. I learnt how to use a range of different sounds to create a piece of music that sounds both thriller-like and tense. I experimented with a range of different sounds by clicking on them and there were many types of sound to choose from: from jazz and orchestral to distorted and electrical, different types of instruments and special sound effects, such as a door closing or an airplane on the runway. I used the search tab to look for the sounds that were relevant to my own piece. I used a sound effect called 'air lock' to create an airy, whooshing sound; I also used a an ambient sound to add an eerie effect to the piece; I also incorporated a 'dark groan' sound, which made the piece sound rather scary and dramatic; finally, I added in the sound of a door being opened and closed, which is a common sound used to create suspense. I dragged my chosen sounds to the Soundtrack Pro timeline and increased or decrease their lengths according to how I wanted my piece to sound. The end piece sounded very eerie, albeit short!
