For my most recent project, I was required to create a story using only sound. We had to layer multiple sounds on top of each other to create this story. In class, we had a lesson on sound which helped me open my eyes and realize how often sound is used in film. After watching movies and TV shows after this lesson, I found myself noticing sound effects that I would have never noticed before. Foley artists must layer basic sounds on top of each other to create an accurate soundscape of what's going on in the scene.
I immediately thought about some of my favorite pieces of media. I am a huge fan of zombie media so I thought a zombie outbreak would be a good idea since we could incorporate a lot of noise; I also thought it would be a more interesting and creative approach.
My partner and I began searching for different sound effects on the internet, we had to think of every possible sound that would take place during a zombie apocalypse. We came up with the idea of a man watching TV in his house who hears a commotion going on outside and realizes his neighbors are being attacked by zombies. The zombie then attacks him, but he stands his ground and ends up hitting the zombie with a bat and winning the fight. We created a soundscape plan which helped us figure out what sounds we needed.
We utilized Adobe Premiere for this project, see below for how we layered the sounds.
Overall, I really enjoyed this project and I think we did a great job. I like how our idea is creative and different than what others might have done. I think the story could have been illustrated a bit more clearly, but I like how it came out.
