Sound Effects - Beep

For the shot where Leora's time device has recharged, we needed a sound effect to indicate this to the audience, and the characters. We wanted a beep as this is commonly associated with technology completing something, for example when a microwave beeps.


We researched some royalty free SFX to find the beep we wanted, and thought fit.


The second half of this clip fit our needs, as we thought it sounded believable in terms of an electronic device. We also thought that the sound wouldn't be too jarring, but still noticeable.


This clip also fits our needs, as the sound is noticeable and clearly electronic. The only issue we have with it is that it is a bit too distracting and intense for the scene it is used for. To get around this we think it should be cut down to about two or three beeps as to make it less intrusive for the audience.



In the final edit we decided to use the second clip, as it was loud enough to be heard over the music, yet still quiet enough to not be too intense. The first clip, although we liked it better, was too quiet for the scene.
