Blog Posting - Sound

 Summary of Sound Lesson and Videos

In class, we learned how sound plays a huge role in storytelling, especially through things like foley sounds and sound effects. We also watched videos showing how sound can create emotions, like in Dunkirk, where Hans Zimmer used Shepard tones to make the audience feel more tense.

Directions for the Sound Project

We had to create a 1-2 minute audio project to tell a story using only sound, no video allowed. Four of the sounds had to be made by us, using random objects for foley sounds. We also needed to record ourselves making those foley sounds and edit it together.

My Approach to the Project

My partner and I brainstormed ideas for something that could happen in 1-2 minutes. We decided on a car crash. Having an outline helped us figure out what sounds we needed and the order they should go in. It also made downloading and organizing sounds easier.

Brainstorming Process

During brainstorming, we thought about real-world events that could fit within the time limit and chose a car crash. This gave us a clear focus and helped with sound choices.

How the Outline Helped

The outline kept us organized. It showed us exactly what sounds we needed and when they would happen, making it easier to plan out everything.

Editing Resources Used

We used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the soundscape and the video of the foley stage.

What Went Well and What Could Improve

Our sound layering went well, and the outline made the whole process smoother. Next time, I’d add more sounds to make it more realistic and work on keeping the volume levels consistent. I’d also spend more time editing to polish it up.
