Sound Project

This project lead me to find out that basically no sounds in movies are actually recorded during the filming process, rather recorded completely separate and edited in. I learned that sound is a very large thing within productions and in some cases may be the only way emotion is portrayed in some films. Sound is also very intricate and is almost never just one ongoing clip of sound yet multiple overlayed within each other. For this project each group was to create a story only using sound and nothing else including the use of foley sounds giving video recording of those sounds being created.  

The story is about a student walking around the outside of their school with many different noises and sounds on their way to the library and then the sudden change to a very quiet and calm room where you can hear almost everything going on around the room. My partner and I decided to film the foley sounds in the order in which it was convenient for us to do at school and we were still able to redo the clips if needed. During brainstorming my partner and I thought out how the story would look in the mind of the listener and made sure to add key sounds like cars and whatnot to help pain an image in the listeners head. The outline helped us keep the story line straight and not to mix it up when recording and also broke down what we were doing so neither of us got confused. Right here is a picture of our outline. 

 The editing source that we utilized was Adobe premier and although giving us a few challenges to start with we eventually got the hang of it. I do think that was was done well was the addition of many sounds like the car horn and the other small sounds to help portray an image.
