War Soundtrack

Once we had learnt about sound, we had to create a soundtrack related to a war scene and to give the experience of being in the war and what it might be like for soldiers to be in the trenches. 

I did this by using a range of different sounds from the Sound Bible and some of our own sounds that we have created, which helped to create a realistic war environment.

In the soundtrack we used a range of different sounds that some faded into each other, some used on their own and some overlapping each other. Also, the different sounds were put at different volumes to emphasis some more important sounds than others or to highlight the distant from where the sound is happening.

I used a range of different sounds to help create this effect such as a grenade which faded in and out of the scene, walking to show a solider in a muddy and gravel environment to show what the trenches might have been like, screams of soldiers getting hurt, helicopters circling the area in the sky above them as they are fighting, gun fires and a pump shotgun which were shot at range of times to highlight lots of action, danger and risks that war can have. Also, there was dialogue added to give a sense of realism and a heartbeat effect to suggest the bravery and tension within a soldier. Overall, these sound effects were put together to give the audience a sense of what a soldier may experience within the trenches.

This is the finished war scene soundtrack:
