Subject Exploration: Sound part 1

As a start to creating our sound journey, I recorded test sounds to hear what certain sounds would be like when recording the final piece. Luckily it rained quite a lot which enabled me to get sounds of heavy rain and strong winds outside as well as whilst sitting in a car. With testing these sounds I let them be recorded for quite a length of time to hear if any changes such as the sounds of the rain and wind, I was able to hear the heaviness of the rain, the strength of the wind. I was able to persuade my mother and brother to act an argument which I had recorded over a couple of times, as well as being able to catch arguments of them unaware to see which sounds worked best and where most believable. Testing sounds of lighting a lighter numerous times was carried out also as we where able to capturer the sounds of the sparks where heard which sounded great. Below are the test sounds I carried out. As well as a sound storyboard I had created using a program called storyboards, it features the step by step process in which the sound journey would occur.

Sounds of both the rain and wind whilst outside.

Sound of the rain against the car whilst inside.

Sounds of lighting a lighter repeatedly.

Sounds of an argument taking place.
