❄️SOUND STORY❄️

 

Hey bloggers!

    My partner, Nicholas Nunez, and I recently finished our sound story! This project opened my eyes to just how much time goes into making a movie sound as close to perfection as possible. Every little sound combines to have a huge effect on a movie, which is why sound layering is the most crucial part to how the movie does at the box office! Even though the project was fairly short, I learned a great amount of valuable information that will help me during the Cambridge video.

    For the editing, I used iMovie. I have used this application before, so I was already familiar to the whole gist of it. This sound project helped wonders in terms of my technique. I learned how to make the sound that is most fitting for each scene, while at the same time, making sure that none of the sounds were too overpowering. Also, I learned how to become more creative when finding out where to generate my original sounds.

    I wouldn't say editing the project was hard, but more so tedious. First of all, I wanted to find the best online sounds that were as close to what I was looking for. I would look for sounds that were a little too specific, which as a result, led to me not finding them. The sound layering is one thing that I hope to improve on. It's extremely crucial when making the movie sound as authentic and I feel like I could've added some more sounds when layering. One thing I would redo are the transitions between each of the main sounds. I feel like I could've make them every so slightly smoother, just to make it sound cohesive and pleasant to the ear. I would also liked to have had the video to be about battling pirates but it was a little to advanced for me. But I know with time, I will be able to do it like its second nature.
