Production Blog Working With Sound

 One thing I have always struggled to do is understand is sound in film making. Working with sound in my commercial has been extremely difficult. In movies and TV sound usually establishes a mood and sets the tone. This is also done in commercials on live television they use sound to grab attention and make people remember them. Sounds can establish many moods. A somber song can establish a sad move on a video that isn't even sad. For my commercial using sound the same way that it is used with movies and TV has been difficult. It is hard use sound to change the mood of the commercial. Putting in the sound at the wrong time can make the commercial seem off. Also using the wrong sound can mess up the mood that you were trying to convey at a given time. The length of time the sound is played is also difficult. I have not been using many diegetic sounds in my commercial. Most of the sound in the videos I chose in the videos does not fit my commercial. This means I have to remove the sound from the videos themselves and play something else. I'm using CapCut to do this and it has been working well. So far I have tried many different sounds and failed to many times. I have tried to include my favorite song and it has not turned out very good. I have been working hard and have made it sound good though. I have also had issues where I have had to completely start over for the sound in my blog. Most of my success using sound has been through trial and error.
