The making of our soundtracks

For our film we had to create a soundtrack. We had to do this because we cant take other people's music, so its best to just come up with our own. We used Garage Band to make our soundtrack. Using Garage Band was easy, and fun. Its nice to play around with beats and things like that.

Our film is focused on me, and me telling my story about being bullied as a child, so I had more of a say with how the soundtrack would come out. Our music is softer, and slower because its a documentary basically I didn't want upbeat tracks because its a sentimental film. You need the music to flow with the film not bring it down or make people be interested more in the music then the story your trying to tell. Making the soundtracks weren't difficult but they weren't easy either. The process was difficult because I might like something I came up with that Zaria wouldn't like or the other way around. So it took us a while to come up with something we all liked.

Piecing together the soundtrack with the film, I would say wasn't that hard. If it feels right, if you like how the music sounds with a certain part don't question it. Just do it. You don't want to throughout the whole film have it sounding depressing, but the sentimental parts should be slow and low, and the uplifting parts should sound uplifting.
