Treatment - Wall-e Clip

Name of Production: Wall-e

What feel or mood are you hoping to achieve with the sound for this clip (i.e. how do you want the audience to feel and at which points in the scene?  Does the sound have a narrative role?) 

I want to create quite a light, relaxed atmosphere as it is a family film. I will add robotic noises to make the Wall-e character come to life, however it will be funny comical noises so the audience are relaxed.

Describe the music are you going to add to the clip  (pace, tone, style, pitch) and what response you hope to illicit in a listener.  Where will you get your music from? (pre-recorded music; public domain, licensed, own)

I will use music using GarageBand, this will give me the flexibility to enhance the light mood I have chosen. Because my clip doesn't use natural sounds as it is a made up world, The music bed i choose will also distract from the fact that there are not many background sounds.

What foley sounds are you going to record in the studio and add to this clip and what will they add to the scene:

The foley sounds will be hard to create as it is a made up word however I will use foley for the dropping of box's and throwing objects into a box.

Do you need to record any sounds out on location, if so which?

I wont need to film on location. If i do decide to film on location, i will film the part of the scene where Wall-e is crushing the rubbish into a box. For this I will use a washing machine. If this was an extended project, I could make the robotic noises by using electrical equipment from around the house such as drills, blenders, radio static etc.

 Who will be in your recording crew to help you get your sounds and what are their individual roles and responsibilities?

I will use Garageband as a sound bank for most of my sounds however I will ask Kelly to assist me when recording my foley sounds as I will need someone to hold the mic. This ensures I have clear sounds.
