Sound project

   Currently, I'm learning during the sound lesson and assigned videos I was able to learn how Foley sounds were created using everyday objects and some assigned videos demonstrated those objects that I can use to create certain sounds and how I can incorporate that into my project. 

    For our sound project, my partner and I brainstormed a scene that could be effectively
conveyed using only sound, without any visual elements. We chose a surgery room because it offers a variety of distinct sounds, such as beeping monitors, air conditioners, and the rustling of fabric. These sounds are easily recognizable and can create a vivid auditory experience, even with a black screen.
 

    During our approach to completing this project, we focused on creating a scene using various sounds without any visual elements. We brainstormed and listed different sounds that could be used and organized them into an outline. We were required to create four of these sounds ourselves. The sounds we chose to produce were footsteps, utensils being dropped, fabric rustling, and gloves being taken off and thrown into the trash. These sounds were manageable to create without professional experience. This approach made the project easier to complete and helped us stay organized, ensuring we had a clear plan for the sounds we needed to produce. 


    For our brainstorming session, my partner and I considered various scenarios that would be easily recognizable and not too complex to create. We thought about scenes like rush hour, a barbershop, or a crowded place. However, the idea that stood out to us was a surgery room. Both of us are fans of medical dramas, so we were familiar with the sounds typically heard in such settings. This familiarity made it easier for us to envision and recreate the scene. Our love for this genre helped us incorporate the surgery room scenario effectively, making the project manageable and enjoyable. 

    Organizing my sounds by breaking down the scene into different sections helped me figure out which sounds to incorporate. It also kept me organized by identifying which sounds to search for and which to create myself. As someone who struggles with disorganization, this method was convenient and made the process much easier.

    I used the InShot app for editing, which made on-the-go editing easy and offered many useful features. I created the scene on my iPad, which I was already familiar with, making the process smoother. I utilized various files, downloads, and instructional videos. My partner completed the first half of the project, and I finished the second half. By extracting audio from the video she sent me, I could seamlessly add to her work and make the final product more cohesive and polished. This method was convenient and helped me stay organized.

    What worked well in this project was our ability to seamlessly incorporate files into the editing process, making everything come together smoothly. However, if given another opportunity, I would incorporate more sounds to make the scene feel more complete and busy, reflecting the work being done on a patient. Overall, the project was presented well, but adding more sounds could enhance the realism. Despite some initial challenges, my partner and I had a lot of fun creating this project, and it turned out to be one of my favorite projects.
