Submarine Comparison

We were given a clip in which the sound had been cut off. This was a task in which we had to watch the clip and decide for ourselves what soundtrack worked best with it. The clip we watched was the opening sequence of a film called Submarine (2010).

After watching the clip, we came to the conclusion that an acoustic guitar kind of sound best suited it, therefore we went onto creative commons which connected us to soundcloud so that we could find the perfect soundtrack for the opening sequence.

We used FinalCutPro to edit the sound into the clip so that it looked proffessional and fitted perfectly. However, we did initially have some problems as the sound track that we found was unavaible to download, but nonetheless we found another track that we later found to be much better.

Also, our sound on our computer in the editing suite cut out completley. Kris & I began to think we were have a bad day, and it was just our luck that another thing would go wrong. The clock was ticking before the end of the lesson so we were more keen that ever to get the task done. The technician sorted everything out.

We eventually got to hear the original for the opening sequence of Submarine. To our suprise it wasn't actually music, it was more or less sound effects to match the scenery of the countryside. (As seen in the clip.)

When listening and watching the original we immediatley came to the conclusion that our version was better, not only because we did it ourselves but because we believe that the track hit every note and beat and just the right moments in the opening sequence.

Overall, the task was a successful one as even though there were many faults we were able to complete it by finding a good soundtrack, editing it into the opening sequence and adding it to our blog.
