Sound Project

   I never realized how detrimental sounds were in films, and how much I actually hear everyday. Whether it's walking to school, or just grocery shopping. The lesson given on this topic was very shocking as I had no idea that the only thing that is ever really recorded, other than visually, is the dialogue. The producers of projects will send their pieces to people to make such things as Foley Sounds. Foley Sounds are sounds that are artificially made. For example, footsteps in almost all movies are not real. It is often made by someone else clinking and clattering two or more objects together to produce a more heard sound for the footsteps. 

  For my project, my partner and I were instructed to make a film with only sounds. No visuals were allowed to be shown. We had to tell a story with only background noises. It wouldn't have been hard to demonstrate this story line if dialogue was allowed, but we were only allowed a maximum of seven words, so we were very limited. My partner and I, at first, had a very basic idea of just a story of a girl walking to school and going to class. However, that changed quickly as I remembered that being basic is boring. Along with my teacher telling us to "make it more dramatic". So, we did just that. 

  Our outline was changed numerous times as we were never quite satisfied with the end result. Trying to decide what sounds we needed and what seven words of dialogue were really going to carry the story required a lot of work. In the end, making these outlines really gave us a clear visual of what our end product was going to look like. Making outlines always keeps me focused on doing one thing at a time and it allows me to get everything desired on the project. 

  Once again, I utilized Adobe Premiere. I actually have grown fond of this program, but only when it works with me. This editing program makes it very easy to combine many imports and sounds. It was especially easy to edit each individual insert. Overall, Adobe Premiere, as of now, is my go to.

  I am very proud of my project and I believe it came out well and that the story is very well represented. But, I wish I could've had less pauses to make the story flow smoother, but it is a minor problem. All in all, I think this is a great attempt.
