Blog posting- Sound

  What I learned from the sound lesson is that sounds can change the perspective of what it is that you're seeing. Every sound that you may hear in a piece has a purpose for an overall message. We also learned how different audios layered on to one another can be connected to spread the overall message. The assigned videos helped me really organize how to layer sound on to each other so it could sound natural and realistic to the piece being displayed. 

For our first sound project, our teacher randomized the class in pairs so that we could create an idea of what to make sounds for. For example, me and my partner decided to create a minute long video, only of sounds, of firefighters getting ready to move out. With that, me and my partner had to make an outline of the scenes for our idea onto a WordDoc and list sounds we had to apply for the specific scenes. By creating an outline, we knew where sounds needed to be placed and what specfic sounds we needed to utilize to create the message of firefighters moving out. Me and my partner used ClipChamp for the osund project and it was very simple to use. We were also instructed to foley 4 sounds which is making a sound with the tools we have at home or elsewhere. I believe me and my partner did well at choosing the specific sounds we used, thanks to the outline, and it came out great. What I'd like to improve next time would be layering my sounds better and making them even more details. For example, I want to add sounds that a typical person wouldn't think about till they hear it. 

For our second project, we worked on an assignmnet from before which was only of different kinds of shots with no sounds. For brainstorming, unfortunatley, I had to work on this project alone, so creating my outline for the sounds was my biggest resource I had. While brainstorming, I watched the video from our past assignment over and over again, so I knew what sounds to include. I used ClipChamp again, since I had already become familiar with it, and I believe layering the sounds went more smoothly for this porject.  What I'd like to improve mext time is also adding more details to my sounds. We had to create sounds for the project as well,  which was easier to do since was had just finished our first sound project.
