Sound Project

The class was teached about all the different techniques used in films to display sound, as the Foley techniques, which are the art of representing sounds in an independent room using specific objects, so the shown sound in the movies sound as desired. We also learned the types of sound, either if it is a soundtrack, diegetic sounds, or sound effects for example.  

Furthermore, The As media class have been assigned to, in groups of 2, develop a story in a 1-2 minute timeframe about a school appropriate scenario using only sounds, no video.  We were allowed to use a maximum of 7 words throughout the project, which are essential to represent further what was going on the scenes.

Our group developed a story based on a man that was at a party and was offered a drink that made him vomit. 

During brainstorming, we had pretty good organization and we had a really good idea flow, meaning we did not have any trouble in agreeing with what the other person thought was right for the film. The outline really helped me be organized by following the timeline as we previously thought, and gave me the ability to imagine the final project even before I started editing. I relayed a lot on the fading of sounds, as it was really needed when the character was feeling dizzy, anytime the door was opened, when sounds were starting to fade because he left the room, and other more instances.  

We did a good job in the organization and communication amongst us, which made things way easier. We contacted frequently and shared new ways and ideas that we could include in the final project to make the best out of what we had done. On the other hand, we could have implemented more Foley into the project, or make the voice recordings better, which I feel are maybe the weak point of the story.
