I hear... therfore I am ?

 "Audio makes the world go round" or something like that. Honestly, audio in productions has kind of become second nature for me ever since I won best short film at the Student Television Network National Convention doing audio for my team (slight but needed flex).

 But this production presents a new challenge...planning. Unlike past productions, I actually have time to think about the soundscape and auditory elements I want to incorporate within the film opening. Because it's a Western, I want to incorporate lots of nat sound. This includes sounds like the wind whistling, footsteps crunching along the hills, birds chirping, dirt flying, and shovels breaking ground. 

    I want to play into the Western motif, so I plan on incorporating strung, acoustic instruments as a backtrack to the scene. These elements would create a tranquil yet mysterious vibe around the first 2 minutes of the production. I'll use my nice Lavalier mics to capture the audio and sound effects databases like pixabay.com or bulletproofbear.com  to fully enthrall the viewer within the world of my production.

Audio is vastly more important than video, and I plan on making it worthwhile. 

Some samples of sounds I want to include:
