Sound Project

 In the sound lesson, I learned that sound helps give more depth to a scene, adds emotion, helps the audience understand what’s happening, and even helps show a character’s personality. We went over different types of sounds used in movies, like background noise, sound effects, and how to make our own sounds using foley techniques.

For our project, my group of three had to create a soundscape of something that could happen in real life and last 1-2 minutes. We needed to find different sounds for everything you would hear in that scene and edit them together. We also had to make at least four foley sounds ourselves for the project.

When we started brainstorming, my group thought about creating a scene where you’d hear creepy sounds. We decided on the idea of going through a haunted or abandoned house. As we wrote our outline, we came up with sounds like footsteps echoing on old wooden floors, doors creaking open, and strange whispers. The outline helped us organize the sounds in the right order and plan what we needed to record or find.

For editing, we used Adobe Premiere Pro. It helped us put the sounds together smoothly. The software made it easier to layer sounds and fix the volume so everything sounded balanced.

What went well: I think our scene sounds like a real haunted house, and the sounds worked well to create a spooky atmosphere.

What we could improve: Some transitions between sounds could be smoother. Next time, we’ll focus more on making the changes between sounds feel less sudden.
