Shawshank Redemption Soundtrack:
During our Title Sequence brief Moses and I were initially going to recreate a title sequence for Shawshank Redemption, but had to change our idea due to location issues. Before we changed our focus I managed to create a short soundtrack for what would have been the title sequence. I used various software plugins using instrument samples and chose an orchestral set, creating a classical & calm piece of music to accompany the planned visuals. Although this will not be used, it could be in the future for another possible project. I believe I gained more familiarity through this creation process and again I enjoyed transforming the scape of the music via manipulating EQ and creating space in the mix. I have found a set number of plugins that I have found a tendency to slip to when mixing sounds which is a good thing although I am conscious to not be complacent as there is so much more to learn.
