Sound Projects

   What I learned during these sound assignments have impacted the way I perceive media now. To start, our assignment was to watch some videos about sound. This made me realize that sounds are much more complex than I thought. For example, I learned about foley and how to make your own foley stage and what lots of foley creators have to do for that. I also learned that a lot of movie scenes only really have dialogue sounds in them and the rest of the sounds are added in. 

   We completed two sound projects in total. The first one, we had to create a whole scene purely based off of sound. No video was permitted, and it had to be 1-2 minutes of sound. She preferred us to do something that had an interesting plotline since we would only be listening to it. We also had to create 4 of our own sounds or foley sounds and submit a video of us completing the sounds. In the second sound project, we had to add sound to our already completed video project which had no sound originally. We weren't required any foley sounds, but I personally added some as I wasn't able to find the right sounds online. Also, each of the group members of this project had submit the project separately.

   In the first sound project, my group started off by planning on a sheet that our teacher gave us. We planned out our scenes, and which sounds matched in these scenes, as we wouldn't be including any video. Then, we planned out what sounds we would do by ourselves and how we would do them. We then divided them off to each group member. This all helped us create our project as we had an outline to build off of and ideas to know how and where to start creating our sound scenes. We used Clipchamp in Microsft365 to do this project. I think that we planned the sounds really well and we figured out which sounds would be present in each scene. Yet, I don't think we made our story interesting enough as the beginning was a little boring with the ongoing sounds for more than 15 seconds.

   In the second sound project, we didn't have a sheet to plan but we did make an outline by listing all the scenes and all the sound that would be present during them, as we did for the first project also. For brainstorming, we gathered our knowledge from the previous sound project and approached it the same. We gathered sounds, recorded the sounds we would need in the process, and added them to the project. The outline really helped to keep us organized when planning out the sounds we needed, and it helped us not forget them. We used Clipchamp in Microsoft365 again as this was the recommended site from the teacher. I think that my sounds were interesting and well planned in the beginning. But, in the end they weren't as much.
