Sound Project

 Sound, or the lack of it can add so much to a scene of a film. Sound can amplify feelings felt in the scene as well as help the viewer get a better understanding of the scene and it's purpose in a story. This is also applies to the lack of sound as no sound can cast certain views, give perspectives, create the atmosphere for a scene etc. All forms of sound whether it be diegetic, non-diegetic, part of the soundtrack, background music, ambient noise, etc., play important roles of giving the scenes they're used in a more purposeful meaning.

It wasn't difficult to come up with sound ideas for a story with no visuals as sounds are a essential part to portraying a scene so coming up with the sounds of a story naturally came to mind as we imagined the story unfolding. Once figuring out the different parts of the story it was easy to imagine the sounds that could be used to portray the scene. I think we were able to create a sound story that the audience would be able to understand without visuals as the sounds we created whether it be the footsteps, tearing of paper, the music, it should be able to paint a mental picture of how the story plays out. The sounds we chose should signify a child waking up, going downstairs and experiencing Christmas joy using just sounds and I think it was well portrayed through the sounds we made and used.
