Sound and sound effect lesson

In today's lesson I have learnt how to import sound files into Final Cut effectively. In today's lesson we were told that we need to add sound to a clip from a film. The clip included a school scene, a elevator scene and various other scenes that help the audience identify the different identity's of the characters. During the lesson me and my group used the creative commons website and the public drive to find sound effects and music that could be used to for clip.

For the school scene we found sound effect of people (crowd) speaking from the public drive. After this we then found sound effect of a elevator going up (we made this loop until the elevator stopped). After the elevator scene was the three other scenes of the three different characters. For the first character ('the black guy'), we used a gangster song because we thought it matched with the characters persona. For the second character ('the girl') we added a more calm, guitar instrumental because we thought it fit in with the clip as the girl seems lonely and the song reflects this.
For the last character ('the punk') we chose a more loud, lively song. Not only because it contrast with the last song but because again it fit in with the persons identity (slicked hair, rock posters).

All the songs that were used in the clips were downloaded from sound cloud, compressed, imported into Final Cut then trimmed to match the clip.
