Sound Project

 I learned the importance of sounds in films. When recording movies and shows filming is focused on the characters dialogue and all other sounds are not included, although a film cannot be left that way; the sounds must be included to make a film complete and how those sounds are applied greatly affects the final product. Sounds can also be made by foley artists which use objects to create special sounds for films, such as rain fall imitated by dry rice falling on a pan or alien chatter created by crunched celery.  

  

I was assigned a sound project. This project was to tell a story that could realistically occur within 1-2 minutes through sound with a partner. No video was aloud in our project, we had several database options to download sound effects from such as “https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/search/youtube/Links to an external site.” which I got most of my sounds from. Additionally, we had to create 4 foley sounds to use in our film. In total we may only use up to 7 words in this project, there should be around 5-8 sounds playing at one time. Finally, we had to submit our project, video footage of the 4 foley sounds we created, and an image of our editing timeline to show the layers of sound.

To complete this project, me and my partner brainstormed our story for the film and then we created a list of scenes, and the sounds required for each of them. We then created folders for each scene and put sounds we downloaded into the proper folder. Then we created a new project on Adobe Premiere Pro. Once we had gotten all the sounds for a scene, we utilized our outline to put our sounds in the project and created the scene. After we completed our project, we checked over it a few times made a few revisions and finally submitted it. I believe we incorporated many sounds in the project that created a functional story although I think that in the future, we can work on making a more interesting and creative story because I feel like the film became bland towards the end.
