The document discusses how the author chose and edited a non-copyrighted horror soundtrack for use in a film trailer. They found a wide variety of free horror sounds online and imported one into Audacity to make edits. Specifically, they split the lower soundtrack into sections and increased the tempo of one section to build up to a crescendo near the end of the trailer. After further edits, they exported the finalized soundtrack for use in the trailer in Adobe Premier Pro.

2. This is the first website I chose to use a non-copyrighted horror soundtrack. The extent of free and non-copyrighted horror soundtracks and sounds
available were very wide and allowed me to look through a variety of sounds until I found one that would fit my trailer.

4. This was one of the original non-copyrighted soundtracks that I chose to have within my trailer. I opened up the software programme Audacity so I could
make necessary changes to the soundtrack.
5. I then imported my final soundtrack file into Audacity so I could work with both tracks and create the exact sound I wanted within my trailer.
6. I moved my top layer soundtrack down the timeline towards the 30 second mark in which I wanted it too begin. As the soundtrack below it would allow the
build up towards my main soundtrack on the top level.
7. I then split my lower soundtrack into two sections. As I wanted to change the tempo of the lower split layer.
8. I went into the effects panel and chose change speed.
9. The change speed panel allowed me to increase the speed of the track and thus create a faster tempo within the track leading up to the crescendo.
10.
11. I then once again split the last 30 seconds of the track again
12.
13. I then increased the tempo of this track even further to create the ultimate peak of the song and the crescendo which would then ensue.
14.
15. I then reduced the top tracks length so it would finish when the trailer finished and thus create a nice fade out after the crescendo.
16. This was my final soundtrack edited. I then saved and exported the soundtrack, finally importing it into Adobe Premier Pro and adding it into my film trailer.
