Tutorial Session #5, #6 and #7

What we discussed – With the final stages of my pre-production research completed I was in full swing of creating my final piece of work for the client. These three tutorial sessions were slow in terms of workload that needed to be done as other commitments got in the way. However David was helpful with guiding me towards different ways of approaching the project to maximize productivity in the limited time I had; this was mainly focusing on the composition of the song, as the sound effects had already been sourced at this point in time.

What needed to be done – The steps taken to complete this work were to give myself time to set up the VST instruments that I was using and sit down and let my creativity flow to produce the bulk of work. After this, it was a case of refining the composition to take the audience on a journey as if they were playing through the level itself.

Steps taken – I spent a day working out the VST instruments and figuring out a rough plan of where they would sit within the composition. The following day I found myself with a rush of inspiration from talking to Nick at CC as we were discussing old PlayStation games that we used to play in our childhood and reminiscing over soundtracks. From this point I’ve spent a few hours a day refining my ideas to a point which I am happy with, as well as making sure the composition compliments the video that I am working to.
