Blog posting - Sound

 In our recent lesson on sound, it talked about the fundamentals of audio design and how it influences storytelling. The lesson covered key elements like the role of diegetic vs. non-diegetic sound, how sound effects create a mood, and how music and silence can enhance emotional impact. It also talked about "foley sounds" and how they can be to enhance the auditory experience of a film.

 Our objective for this project was to tell a story through sound effects and other auditory techniques. While doing this project, we created a brainstorming sheet to help us understand what scene to do. The scene had to be made up of action that would occur in a literal 1-2 minute timespan. Then we had to create an outline that explains each sound and how it will be used in the project. We were only allowed 7 words for the whole scene. We were able to use online sound effects and at least four of the sound effects utilized must be created by using random objects. This is basically what we had to do and our directions for the project.

 My approach to the project was very unique. For the brainstorming my partner and I had just been throwing ideas up in the air until we found one we believed sounded good. Once we had found the right idea the outline was fairly easy. We made two columns one for the scene or part of the story and one for the sound. After recording the story my partner and I used the PremiereRush app because we felt it was the easiest to use and navigate.

 I believe the way we organized our outline really helped in filming and editing this project. Next time I hope to do better in creating the sound we used and how we utilized them.
