One of the big challenges for me throughout this entire module has been drawing the line between music and audio. At points during the animation I’ve chosen, there’s a necessity for music as it’s quite clearly being played in the scene. Here I feel that what I’ve done is more like using music as a sound effect, only placing it where it needs to be. I think that because I’m a music student, using restraint here was one of the biggest issues. It was also very hard when creating synth sounds, as I had to make sure they weren’t too musical or melodic so it didn’t veer into soundtrack territory. I also think that if I were to do this project again I would focus much more on time management to allow myself more time to focus on certain aspects such as mixing. Overall I am quite happy with the end result and think that my piece is close to how i imagined it would turn out initially.
