Fiction Adaptation: Creating a mock soundtrack for the dancers

Creating a mock sound track

In order for my dancers to practice the movements on the shot list, I had to create a soundtrack for them to dance to. This meant that I had to; 

  • Find rights free music that matched the mood and pace that i was going for
  • Record a mock voice over in the same emotive way that I would want for the real one so they understand what kind of 
  • Not only this but I also thought it would be a good idea to write down who's part comes up at what times so it would be easier for the dances to navigate which parts they needed to go back to. 
The soundtrack


After spending some time on the internet finding rights free music that fit the mood I wanted, I went ahead and put it into premiere pro to create the video. The issue I had was that the song I liked was too short so I had to try and extend it within the edit and I also had to find another track to go with it because theres only so much copy and pasting you can do with a song before it becomes noticeable. overall I thought this was a good starting point and was good enough for my dancers to practice to. 

Next steps; 
  • Print off artist contracts and relevant paper work for the dancers
  • continue to source better music for the real edit
  • make sure shot list is complete with all the shots that are required

Usually you would need to make a a cast for the persons face but I decided to simplify it for myself and just use  plate. I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. ...
