Final Film


This is my finalised film. Each clip plays for half the time than it did before so overall it looks smoother. I have kept the same style music.

Soundtrack tests

Using the up to date visuals of my film, I have tested out different sound tracks. None of the backings contain lyrics as this would clash with the audio teaching the viewer about the surgery process.


  1. The first sample 'Ukelele' is upbeat so brings a positive tone to the surgery process. However it resembles a dance, which match hand in hand with learning the science. 
  2. The next, called 'Speedy', is much faster. It may rush the viewers thoughts, meaning they absorb less information. The speed makes it slightly frantic. It also resembles a childlike style, which although brings light energy to the video, is not appropriate for a topic of surgery or the high level of science detail being conveyed. 
  3. This acoustic version of 'Budapest' (original by George Ezra) is calming and a good speed. However at times it becomes too heavy and dense for a backing track. There is also a chance viewers will recognise the song, which will draw their attention away from the aim of understanding more. 
  4. The 4th sample is again an acoustic version of a well known song 'Riptide'. For the same reasons above, I have chosen not to use it. 
  5. This is the slowest sample. It is far too slow for the speed of the visuals, so do not work together in 1 film. 
  6. The 6th test is very positive. If anything it is too dramatic. I must be sure to remain un-bias on my thoughts of laser eye. This style music seems as if I am promoting laser eye surgery to the audience. 
  7. The next track is called 'Flowing energy'. It is a good speed and provides good energy to the film. 
  8. The final sound sample 'Sun on my Side' is similar to no.7. However it is slightly more upbeat. Includes more string instruments and makes the film look overall more smooth. 

After evaluating all my possible sound tracks, I have made a decision to use 'Sun on my Side'. I will use 3 different versions of this track throughout my film. The different versions are very similar so will fit together easily.

Film - sep 24th version

This is the stage of my movie mid-september. I have put together the 100s of photos and fit the audio to the correct timings. I would like to speed up the film, making it overall smoother, however I have yet figured out how to do this without distorting the sounds. 

The background music is also only temporary as I am still experimenting.
