RoboCop Soundtrack Evaluation

Evaluation


I think that my soundtrack works fairly successfully in context of what you can hear and what you can see in the scene. Especially the sounds of the ED-209 moving and its speech. The sound effects and the visuals on screen work well together and are synched up to a high standard.

I think that my soundtrack reflects professional standards in the aspects of the ED-209's speech and actions, every noise that should be present in the scene is present and most, if not all of the sound effects do not sound out of place. 

I think that the ways that my soundtrack could be improved to meet professional standards are in terms of the ambiance and the sounds coming from the other business executives as they could have been more specific. Also, the gun fire noises from the ED-209 could have been more precise as well. They are fine as they are, but they could have been better in my eyes.

Robocop Soundtrack treatment

Treatment

Name of Production: RoboCop

What feel or mood are you hoping to achieve with the sound for this clip (i.e. how do you want the audience to feel and at which points in the scene?  Does the sound have a narrative role?)

The feel I’m trying to achieve is that all the sounds that are heard are appropriate for the situation and the mood I’m trying to get is the humour that the original sound had.

Describe the music are you going to add to the clip  (pace, tone, style, pitch) and what response you hope to illicit in a listener.  Where will you get your music from? (pre-recorded music; public domain, licensed, own)

I have chosen not to use any music because the original clip had no music and personally, I think that using music would be inappropriate for the scene.

What foley sounds are you going to record in the studio and add to this clip and what will they add to the scene:

I am going to add the mechanical movement noises of the ED-209 as well as ADR its speech. I will also add the ADR of Dick Jones. The rest will be made in the stock library of the Soundtrack Pro software. The sounds will add the effect of the robot really being there as well as the speech of the robot to add an intimidation factor.

Do you need to record any sounds out on location, if so which?

No

 Who will be in your recording crew to help you get your sounds and what are their individual roles and responsibilities?

I will be recording the sounds and ADR myself because so little live recording actually has to be done.
