LiveType and Soundstrack Pro










We have used programmes related to editing, adding effects, soundtrack and titles which consist of three separate software’s. We had to use software called Final Cut Pro in order to edit, cut and add effects to our any footage we take. It was easy to learn the basic fundamentals of the software which include cutting a simple piece of footage and how to adjust the length and time in order to match the cut which comes next. Livetype was the software in which we had to use consecutively for creating title for our footage. I personally found livetype a bit tricky for the reason that it takes time and patience to adjust the text to your interest and place it according to your footage. Conversely, the software has various effects and adjustments that suit our interest which gave us a large range of different effects and transitions we can use.

 

Soundtrack Pro is a professional software in which filmmakers use to create sound in terms of diegetic and non-diegetic pieces. There is a large range of different instrument types and families such as ‘string family’ which includes violin, cello, double bass, guitar and much more; Brass family, drum kits, bass and many more. In addition the software includes a variety of diegetic sound such as footsteps, screaming, door shut, gun fire etc. Learning how to alter  the timing to match the sound takes time but concludes in a outstanding, professional finish.
