In creating this clip, which is an excerpt from my full film, "Zombie Video Dissertation," I spent 70% of my time designing the soundscape. There are three distinct tracks thrown into the mix:



1. A double bass droning the pitch of C



2. A synthetic drone of the pitches Bb and F



3. Cymbal crashes, sampled from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHwJ3kJLC-E



I mixed these tracks to have them not clip, which is a faux pas in cinema. I chose these tracks to have a mix of heady acoustic instruments and the agony of the electronic music fad. Cymbals provide the sonic backbone of this clip.



In terms of picture, I relied on basic white balancing and a small amount of color correction to achieve a subtle feel.



These two components work together in an exhilarating manner to provide the viewer a bit of fear.
