Background Sounds (Not Final Yet)


We had decided to use this as our background sound for the first few seconds of the opening sequence as it would blend well with our current production name/logo (which is "Eagle Eye Productions"). Despite this being a hawk screaming, it was the best sound effect that we could find as other videos were endless loops of sound effects which wouldn't merge well with the production name as it didn't sound like a realistic or natural sound effect that a hawk would make when genuinely screaming.

Also, this sound effect was used to bring more life to the production name and logo since we had the idea of adding an animated production logo, taking inspiration from widely-known production companies such as the Warner Bros. Company and 20th Century Fox, but we couldn't make the logo animated so we thought that it would seem more professional to add a sound effect to give it its own identity (a great comparison is how the "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" intro usually finishes off with the lion majestically roaring; straightaway, the MGM company has brought its own identity in its introduction and is now used in every movie that it is the production company of).

However, the background sounds are not final because of the struggle to find a motivational song that would suit the three personalities and also suit the pacing in the opening sequence since we realized that grime beats wouldn't blend well with the school scenes but the gang scenes whereas some types of motivational music wouldn't have suited well with the gang scenes but be more suitable for the football scenes. There will be blog posts explaining our decisions on background sounds in the meantime.
