Sound Project

Hello Blog!

We recently started learning about audio.

We learned about different types of sound and that music helps establish the tone of a video. We learned that it is one of the most difficult things to produce for a video, and that manipulates the audience to feel a certain way while adding emotion and dimension to the scene.

But the most important thing we learned was that audio is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in a video.

To put our knowledge to the test, we were assigned to create a soundscape composed only of audio clips. For this project we were limited to the use of only seven words, we were allowed to compose our video mainly on pre-made sound effects, but we were required to make at least four sound effects by using foley sounds.

My partner and I decided to make the process of a spaceship taking off. We started the process with an outline of what our soundscape would sound like.

We broke it up into five scenes: Getting ready, Walking into spec shuttle, Buckling up, Countdown, and Liftoff.

This helped us better organize ourselves and plan each scene accordingly 

Here is what our outline looked like:

We then recorded our sounds and put the project together in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I think my partner and I did a pretty good job on this project, the only thing I would have liked to improve on was maybe trying to find better sound effects for when the spaceship is taking off, and maybe shortening the sequence in which the astronaut walks towards the spaceship. 

Here is the link to the project!
