Music

We used most of our music from GarageBand on the MacBook at school. It is easy to import music from GarageBand into iMovie so editing it in was simple. Unfortunately as the MacBook at school has difficulty connecting to the internet its software has not been updated recently. We found music on my more updated MacBook at home which was not on the school mac for a certain part of the documentary. By exporting it to an itunes file we were able to get it from my MacBook at home to the MacBook at school.

On GarageBand it is very easy to make a backing track for sections of the documentary. They go well with voiceovers and sequences of pictures or video. The use of sound makes it more interesting as from watching other peoples documentaries we saw that silence with images makes it look like a PowerPoint presentation and not a documentary/video.

The image below is from the music we made for when Mr Scully is being interviewed. It is

a loop of a sound clip we selected from one of many supplied by GarageBand in the sections on the left:
