Production Diary - Week 9 - Further Audio Consideration and tweeking

This week I have been trying to improve the audio of the animation by placing in non-diagetic sounds such as the wind blowing, bird song and the general outdoor 'hum', to give the animation more of an atmosphere and more emphasis on the setting.

I have also included music accompaniment of which I created myself and based it around the sounds that children's toys make. I have tried to mimic this in the tone of the instrument and in the melody in the way that melodies associated with childrens toys and television programs are usually care free and joyous in their delivery. The musical accompaniment features at the start of the animation, in the middle and at the end. The melodies are representative of: an introduction, a problem, and an outro.
I think the musical element really adds to the childlike aspects of the animation and I am pleased with this result.
