Part 2: Tips and Techniques for Using Party Sound Effects
Match Visual to the Beat
Your visuals should match the beat. Pairing a beautiful piano melody with a hopping club scene probably won’t compel your audience to keep watching. Make sure your visual matches the track, and the beat fits the scene.
Pair Tracks for Realism
Just as the beat needs to match the visual, the tracks should fit the scene realistically. If you’re creating a soft, romantic scene that involves a celebratory glass of champagne but your party sound effects are cartoony, it can pull your audience out of the scene. Make sure the tracks you choose are realistic to the visual you’re trying to put forward.
Songs Need Transitions Too
It can be jarring to switch from one track to another without anything in between to soften the blow. You can use transitions to switch between different sound effects and scenes to make your film seamless to your audience.
Don’t Be Afraid to Use Pauses
Pauses can be just as effective as finding the perfect piece of music to back your visual. No sound is just as powerful as a loud boom or a sweet melody, so don’t be afraid to add in a little bit of silence.
Matching the perfect party sound effects with your visuals might be the thing you need to make your project memorable. Need more sound effects?
