Hello again! I have just completed my third project for my media studies class, and I'm excited to share my thoughts.
In this project, I was tasked, alongside a partner, to create a minute to two-minute-long soundscape with no video involved, using 4 foley sounds we made. I learned a lot from the project, like how important every detail is regarding sound editing. Everything had to sound perfect for our story to make sense. Speaking of our story, it centered on a subject at a carnival playing a game. When planning, we wanted to fully immerse the listener, so we decided to make it seem like they were walking through the scene. We started off with a rollercoaster rushing by, followed by game bells dinging, carnival music, and balloons popping. As the story flowed, we increased the volume of the games as the character got closer, all to make it seem like the listener was walking through our soundscape.
We organized the outline into separate parts, and split them evenly. Each part had 6 or 7 sounds we wanted to incorporate in that specific section. This made it so that when we were editing in Adobe Audition, we already knew what sound we were putting in and where they were going to go.
I liked how our story flowed, and made it feel like the listener actively participated in the scene, but I would've liked to branch out our story, as half of the scene is one action of playing a game. This was undoubtedly a cool moment, but I felt that we should've let it be just that, a moment, and moved on to something else after that.
Overall, this project has helped me learn the importance of sound in media and taught me effective ways to utilize it in the future. If you would like to give it a listen, click the link down below!
