Sound Project

My teacher taught us a lesson on different kinds of sound techniques and different ways they're used in film.

For this project, we need to brainstorm a 1–2-minute scene, keeping it school-appropriate and realistic for that time frame. Scenes like getting ready for school, cooking, and robbery are off-limits. We'll focus on identifying the sounds that naturally occur in the scene, and we can only use seven words. After brainstorming, we will create an outline explaining the sounds needed to tell the story. For the final product, we’ll record the sounds, with at least four being made using random objects (not digital sounds) on a “foley stage” and then make a video of the process. We’ll submit three files: the sound file of the scene, a video showing how we made the four foley sounds, and a screenshot of our audio editing timeline.

The first thing that came to mind for me was a party scene, me and my partner followed the directions like a recipe and completed everything in the order it was shown in the directions. We spent a solid 30-minutes brainstorming and creating our outline, those 30 minutes consisted of general conversation and agreeing on what we both wanted to do. Afterwards, we immediately jumped into creating the project, Editing took around 2 hours for me since it had been a while since I edited audio on premiere pro, but I picked it up pretty quickly and I was able to get through it relatively fast.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with how my rendition of the project turned out, I feel like If I brushed up on how to use premiere, I would do an even better job. This project also showed me how little I know about sound techniques; I'm definitely going to study more of that.
