Sound projects 1 and 2

 Hello! Recently in class we finished two sounds projects after lessons learning about how sound in used in TV productions. The lessons included sound techniques and how they are used. We learned how productions use sound techniques to develop their story and create feelings for the audience. 

For our first sound project we had to work in pairs to develop a realistic soundscape to tell a story of a character we made up with only the use of sound. For our second sound project we had to create a soundscape for our video project. This assignment was semi-individual since we worked with our partners to create an outline but we made the final soundscape for our video project on our own. 

In sound project #1 me and my partner came up with the idea of a character going to the beach but then getting attacked by a shark after entering the ocean for a swim. During our brainstorming we just thought about the sounds we might hear at the beach and whatever we thought of we would tell each other and write it down onto our soundscape outline. Creating the outline seriously helped up organize our sounds and made the process much easier since it split up all the sounds into individual scenes. To put together our sounds and edit them we stuck with clipchamp since it allowed us to import as many sounds as we wanted and it was easy to use. I think we did pretty good on this project, I liked how we put together our sounds and I think we did pretty good on the timing and the way we used them. I think we could have done better on our shark attack scene but it was pretty hard finding sounds to represent a shark attack.

sound project #2 was a bit harder to complete and think of in my opinion. For this project we had to create a soundscape of our video project, the problem with this is our video project took place in a quiet classroom. Nonetheless we came up with an idea of sounds we can use to develop our story. We thought about how we could use sounds that are typically tuned out by people during a test, such as the clock, or the buzzing light, or even the air conditioner. We created an outline to help break up each scene to help us build out soundscape a bit easier; which the outline helped organize our project tremendously. For this project we once again utilized clipchamp since it was easy and we can import as many sounds as we want, not to mention since it is a microsoft application we could use our onedrives. I think we did well collecting our sounds, I just think I could have done better implementing them and using them correctly. This is the link to my second project: OWFsound_Arrechea.mp4
