The Legend of Aramelle -Episode 9 Sound Effects

Mixed sound effects for:
Exterior Castle CourtyardCrowd Exterior Daytime Courtyard…Blenheim Palace (Prosound: Bought) mixed with Pirate’s in crowdPirate Murmur Constant Calm… (Prosound: Bought). Both of these together sounds enough like a crowd, though the crowd does sound annoyingly distracted. Though I do like the fading up of the pirates, as you can hear an “Arr!” just at the moment that “I can’t see no pirates either,” is said!
Torch gets knocked overFire torch burn in wind, short (Prosound: Bought) Impact firewood grab (Adobe) – mixed these two together. It was too much noise for the fire to be burning the whole way through, so added it jsut before it gets knocked over.
Crowd fightsEpisode 9 general screaming fighting (Cast) mixed with Crowd panicsHuman crowd footsteps running and screaming (Adobe) and Fire burningTorch fire burning roar intermittent crackles (Prosound: Bought). Wanted quite a few noises here so you can tell it’s pandemonium and no-one knows whatr’s about to happen at this point!

Cast for:
Soothsayer FaintsEpisode 9 Soothsayer fainting
Soothsayer wakes upEpisode 9 Soothsayer wakes up
Crowd panics Episode 9 crowd panics
Orson gets hit – not a sound effect, just good acting!

Prosound for:
Soothsayer’s caveBreaths Creepy Ghostly Wind(Bought). I originally wanted a more cave-y type setting for this, but it sounded too similar to the dungeons, think this makes it seem more like the soothsayer is sitting on top of a mountain!
Aramelle and Gideon have tug of war with drumSwing Set Swing (Bought). Could not for the life of me find anything that sounded like a drum being pushed back and forth, think this works though as it’s only a few seconds.
Giant pours water over fireWater pour(Bought).
Flood waterWater lap heavy sloshy crashing tidewater(Bought).
Aramelle puts Orson on tree branch Water splash tree branch drop(Bought).
Aramelle bangs drum and giants hearDistant Booming Muffled Thumps(Bought). Very difficult to find drum noises, it turns out! This one works well, as I’ve added an echo and slowed it down.

BBC used for:
Dungeon door opening and closingDoors Prison Cell Open and Shut (Bought) – the same as used in episode 3

Adobe Sound Effects for:
Leaving soothsayer’s caveFoley Footsteps Cowboy Boots Debris Dirt Walking – Needed something so you’d know they’d left the cave before the soothsayer woke back up.
Orson gives sword to AramelleWeapon broad sword hit metal tink
Aramelle fights Impact sword impacts

Music:
The Village Krumhorn stem
Persephone theme

Freelance Journey

How to Become a Freelancer – July Update

Intro:
Now I am back at work full-time, I am having to plan my editing time for The Legend of Aramelle, more closely. I am still on track, though, with episode eight due to go up this Saturday (12th July). It can be listened to here on WordPress, on Apple podcasts, Spotify or Pocketcasts.

I have been applying to sound-recording jobs (and a few assistant director or producer jobs) on Mandy and Backstage, which has led to a few interviews, but no paid work, just yet. However, I am keeping track of how many interviews I’m getting and it’s over half of what I’ve applied for!

So on to the update!

Scripts Update:
Am still waiting for the release date of the Bafta competition this year, as I will be submitting my Troy script into it. I am also nearly finished with my script for the BBC writersroom this year (will be nice to finish with plenty of time to edit). It’s my puritan witches script and I’m going to ask my writing group to give me notes in the next week or so.

Am in the process of editing the films from the film course. I may not finish all of them before the graduation, but should have a fair few edited and ready to be shown.

Things Learnt:
Am getting better with writing succinct cover letters when applying to jobs. Have found the best way for me to write them is to write them in a Notes app and then add them to my application. I tend to follow the formula of mentioning things they have mentioned in the application and then adding my own skills where appropriate. It may not sound like much, but as someone who used to not add cover letters at all until I was about 28 (when I was a manager and realised I wasn’t impressed when people didn’t send cover letters to me), it has changed how I apply to jobs!
