♡ Sound Story ♡

     


    Hi! For an assignment, I did a sound story. A sound story is a film that doesn't use visuals and only sounds. This was a very unique process, and different from anything video-related that I have done. My partner and I split the work evenly and I did the foley and editing it, and I did the script.

     For our sound story, it was about a soccer game and the process before the game, like getting out of the car and warming up for the game. During the foley process, I realized how loud and chunky I had to be to get the sounds I needed. I chose to make the sounds as I play travel soccer, and I would be able to make the sounds easier as I am experienced in what goes on during a soccer game and how it would and should sound. 

    It took a lot of work to get the sounds. Most of the time, it was too quiet or there would be background noise since I filmed in a park. I filmed in Miami Lakes Park which is packed on Wednesday, so there was a lot of background noise. This caused me to refilm sounds multiple times not only trying to get the correct sound loud enough for the camera to hear but also trying to avoid getting the background noise of the people screaming in Spanish. However, it was easy to develop ideas and execute them as I am experienced in soccer. For example, I can juggle and dribble, so I was able to mimic the sound that happens in the game. 

    I also wrote the script, at first when I started the script I realized how difficult making this video might be as there are so many sounds happening at the same time. I wrote the sounds and tried to picture what and how my partner and I would make this work. In the end, I think it turned out great. The script was great and my partner was able to understand and edit the video to make the sound story just as I pictured it, maybe even better.
