In the previous videos and the sound lesson, I have learned about layering, synchronous sounds, asynchronous sounds, Diegetic sound, non diegetic sound, sound motif, sound perspectives, voice overs, and how music can help provide deeper meaning to a piece. Layering is where you combine multiple clips of audio to better the environment. Synchronous sounds are sounds that match outside the current scene. Asynchronous sounds are sounds that come from outside the current scene. Diegetic sounds are sounds that characters in the film can hear, like a radio. Non diegetic sounds are sounds that are added in. Sound motif is a recurring sound or theme that represents the environment around the scene. Sound perspectives are how sound changes with distance. Voice overs are how the narrator speaks over the scene to explain things. Music enhances emotion.

In the first sound project we were supposed to make a story only using sound clips. It had to be in a true 1-2 minutes. We needed to add our own Foley. We needed at least 4 Foleys. We were only allowed to use 7 words to convey our story.  For the second project we needed to add sound to our camera shots, and angles project. In this we originally had no sound, and we had to add sound to convey our message as well as possible, including realistic background sounds.

First in order to do sound project one we wanted to find a story where we can convey the message with as little words as possible, we also wanted to do something where there was a lot going on. So we eventually came up with a meteor crashing into a space station. From here we created a realistic story with a lot of issues, so we could add lots of sound. After we created our story, we made it so we could add a load of sound, so from here we chose our sounds we would add, and in the end we decided which sound would work the best with Foley.

 For project 1: We thought of a good story, and then we included a load of problems, so we can convey more meaning to the story. For project 2: we just added sounds which would convey our message, then we added background sounds which would be realistic in a classroom scenario.

Our story up  was split into the different problems, and so we organized it by problems occurring then from we just added sounds we thought would be appropriate to each problem of our story. It helped as we were we could add different sounds to each problem. For project #2 we used our outline where it was already split  up into different parts, where we just added sounds which would convey our message. It helped as we were able to organize our sounds into different sections more easily.

We faded in sounds, we faded out sounds, and we also decreased and increased the volume on certain sounds in order to make the environment feel right. For project 2 I faded in sounds, and also faded some sounds out, while increasing and decreasing certain sounds.
