"The Arrival" Sound design progress update!

So far I've collected the main soundtrack for our play. The soundtrack will be from Wes Anderson's film, "The Grand Budapest Hotel." However, only two songs from the whole track have been officially confirmed."The Night Train to Nebelsbad" and "A Prayer for Madame D." "Night Train to Nebelsbad," will be used for the Arrival of the father into the new world. "A prayer for Madame D," will be used for the end of Sarah's chase scene and also for when the father leaves his family. The actual chase scene will be accompanied by soundtrack from COD. I've cut the necessary bits and adjusted timing for the scenes done so far. 

In terms of sound effects I've finished the dragon and the fog horn. I believe I need to create a sound for the creature too which I will do once the characterization is more developed. 

The programs Audacity and Qlab are crucial to my design process. I've been using audacity to adjust the timing and mixes for the songs so far. Qlab is my sound cue system organizer. I've created a temporary cue project for our current process. 

I need to talk to Mr.Black to gain expert knowledge on all the functions of Qlab. I will also continue to explore the soundtracks for the upcoming scenes and create a sound effect for the creature. 

Finally, I hope to complete the sound cue board and then have a smooth run through with the ensemble before the real performance.
