This is mine and Paddy's soundtrack that has been created to portray a family in their house during the Blitz in London in the second World War. We used MoviePlus X6 to create the track and sound bible was used to get the sound effects, and music. We wanted to create a feeling of homeyness in the opening of the soundtrack, we did this through adding a grandfather clock in the background, more over the use of the radio an tuning into a speech for Sir Winston Churchill gives the soundtrack a time and place. We used the special keys panning effect to create depth in the soundtrack, otherwise it would lose the setting and doesn't have much reality to the track. Moreover, the depth and range of sounds in the tracks help tell the story that we were trying to put across. 

Saving Private Ryan High volume- The waves are used to create a feeling of being there and intense drama, as they are crashing over the top orders being given out- by tom hanks,creates the stress that there was in the boat. The bullets pinging around the boat creates a felling of being weak as you cant stop the bullets.This is also emphasized by the explosion and chaos taking place on the beach. Constant sound gives the impression that there is no time to think on the beach, as you are constantly under pressure. This is also shown by the sound of the slow motion around Tom Tanks.
