An assignment everyone had to do this week was a Sound Effects Story. I wanted the story to tell a lot about the atmosphere which meant that I needed a lot of different sounds. So I decided on creating the story that most people experience during their day, the walk to work.
The process was fairly simple, just searching for sounds on Freesound and compiling them in a semi-organized way on my desktop. Then I uploaded each sound as it would come in on the final piece. This part wasnβt necessarily hard but just slow and annoying when things didn’t sound right together or some tracks were too loud in the scene. The worst though was when I realized I misread the instructions and it had to be under 90 seconds. This was of course when I had finished the original 2-minute and 28-second version that will forever sit on my laptop as just a memory now. But the cutting process was fairly simple just sad and then I exported the version you will all hear. I promise this one is under the time limit.
- The sounds I used are listed here:
- Elevator sequence
- Door opening and closing
- Printer Printing Office Sounds
- Mechanical Keyboard Typing
- Fan 1
- Streets of Maribor
- Walking footsteps flat shoes tile floor
- Walking footsteps tennis shoes tile floor
- Assembling Office Tables
- Opening Closing Big Heavy Metal Exterior Door
- Office Chair Sitting Down
- Female sigh – medium distance
