After one of our group meetings, we have found appropriate sounds to use in our scenes. The sounds are entirely taken from various chinese music cds which include many chinese traditional instuments such as the er hu, flute, and cymbals. The songs used are judged for suitability based on:
1) Sound made by instrument used (eg. piercing, clanging, gentle)
2) Pace (as in how fast the tempo is)
3) Rhythm (highs and lows)
4) Feeling generated by the sound
I am using Wavepad Sound editor to cut out bits that I want to keep for the play and to split the songs for timing purposes. I am also adding in effects such as fade in, fade out to enhance/build up the moment. The sounds will all be compiled into a file on Windows Movie Maker.
I am using two cds so far, namely "a Pick of Guangdong music" and "a collection of masterpieces". About 9 sound files are being used.
Special things to do for next rehearsal:
1) Choreo movement and blocking with Saad
2) Time play in order to find appropriate timing for sounds
