Sound in OTS

Sound is a very important part to an opening title sequence.

Diegetic sound comes from things we can see on screen.
Non Diegetic sound is created from an external source, e.g. voiceover/music.

Getting a perfect sound is vital, when somebody is speaking it is important that they speak loudly and clear so that their voice is heard. Microphones or sound recorders should be used so that no background noise is heard.

Foley is sound that is recorded over the top of a clip. This eliminates any background distracting noise if speech is recorded separately to the visual and then edited and layered over the top.

In my OTS it is important that the music we use is copyright free, as this is one of the specifications set by the exam board.
