Importing music files into Adobe Premier Pro

In this lesson I learned how to import and use mp3 files into Premier Pro. I did this so background music would play as you navigate through the front end. This was done by importing the file into the library and encoding it in the same way you would a normal scene or outtake. This met the design aspect of my client breif because it follows th same structure in my sketches and it was previously planned. I felt that it also linked in with the impact of the audience and the target audience section of the client breif. This is becasue by playing relevant music to my audience it would help get the message across and also relate to them. The music playing in the background creates a different mood to the front end. Although the colouring and background can already do this, i felt that music was quite a nice addition to the front end and it gave it a more light-hearted theme.

This was the code to enable me to import music in Adobe - I had to replace the "sub menu music" to the actual file name of the music clip for it to link up to the appropriate button.

3. Code to play music: (music file has to be in the project folder):

var channel:SoundChannel

var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("SubMenuMusic.mp3"));               

channel = snd.play(1000,3);//1000 ms after start of sound, 3 times

Target audience - is mainly aimed at people who drive and regularly use car parks.

By using music in my front end I can relate to my target audience. However, this only becomes appropriate if I choose a relevant song to my target audience.

Message of the film - to indicate that dangerous driving in public car parks can be hazardous and it can cause dangers to others.

N/A

Technical elements - It will include different screens such as play movie, scenes, outtakes and subtitles.

Importing music files into the front end needed alot of coding so it would play in the relevant screens. I need to declare the music at certain times and make them "false" at other times.

Impact of the film on the audience - slightly humorous so the audience do not get the impression that I am accusing them of being bad drivers.

This has a more positive impact on the audience watching the film and makes it more light-hearted. This hopefully gets the message across more easily.
