Choice of Sound Effect

In order to create verisimilitude, we decided to put a sound effect on the music once Elliott had been seen to take his headphones off- this was to make the sound non-diegetic and also to enable the audience to hear the sound of the video playing. We used the audio effects supplied by iMovie to create the desired sound, and after listening to all available, we were left with a choice of either Muffled or Telephone.

After much deliberation, we decided on using the Telephone effect as it gave a more electronic sound to the song, and helped to give the impression that it was coming from the headphones. It also had more of a sound change than Muffled and therefore emphasised what was happening to the audience.
