Sound Track planing

For my FMP I want to produce a soundtrack which will create an immersive atmosphere for the viewer.

In some scenes I will have silence but in the background there will be a faint room tone which I will record with a zoom microphone for about 30 seconds, this is critical as if the scene is just silent it could disorientate the audience. So just having a faint noise in the background will create the silent atmosphere.

In other scenes I want to create a tense feeling for when we see something bad happen, for this I am going to record the plectrum scraping the strings on my guitar for this I will feed the XLR lead from my guitar into my amp and from my amp to the zoom via XLR again, by recording the sound directly into the mic it allows me to manipulate the sound levels and possibly distort the sounds further in sound track pro.

For my intro and certain parts of the film I would like to create an actual soundtrack which would give my film an identity, consisting entirely instrumental elements. In doing this I can play this in various parts of the film also allowing me to change it slightly for different scenes telling the viewer to feel multiple emotions, whether that's happy, sad, aggressive etc.

On set for dialogue I will be recording sound with a zoom microphone with a wind protector, so the mic doesn't pick up any unnecessary noise which could wash out what the actors are saying.
