Ella and I had planned to use our school's recording studio to create a professional sound with our soundtrack, which is a cover of Sam Smith's 'Leave Your Lover'. However, the date of recording was continuously postponed as some of the equipment in the studio was broken, leaving us unable to use it. We then had to make other arrangements and so we booked a recording room with the head of the Music Department at our school where we could record with our own recording equipment. I have a microphone for personal use which easily plugs into a computer with a USB chord. My microphone, a Blue Yeti, meant that Ella and I were able to record ourselves and the piano cover onto an Apple Mac, into Logic Pro. We arranged for us to meet our friend Molly who plays piano, and we were able to borrow the head of the Music Departments personal electric keyboard.
After recording the piano piece, alongside the primary tune which Ella and I sung, Molly left and Ella and I made the finishing touches to our piece which included several harmonies which we recorded in order to layer and add depth to the song. We sang the song softly so that it would correlate with our films delicate issue and which also compliments our soft focus and dismemberment shots in the trailer. Now that we have completed our film trailers soundtrack, we need to focus on attaching the soundtrack to our film trailers footage, as our film trailer is currently accompanied by Sam Smith's original version of 'Leave Your Lover'. In order to apply the soundtrack to our film trailer, I will upload the song from Ella's memory stick, onto my YouTube account where we can then YouTube convert the video into a format that will be able to apply to our film trailer.
