Sound project

 My sound project, done by myself and Mariano Berdon, told the story of a group of fishermen who's boat tragically drowned after being caught in a bad storm at sea. We told this story through a series of sounds that we both found online and created on our own. 

The foley sounds we created came from a variety of trials to see what would sound most like what we are trying to recreate. For example, I tested out chopping various things in my fridge to sound the most like I was chopping up bait at sea, and chopping up a cheese stick worked best.

We also found various sounds through YouTube that sounded the most natural, and layered them on top of each other to create a realistic effect of what you would hear on a fisherman's boat. When parts started to sound too bare, we would add more factors into the audio, such as ice buckets for the fish. 


Nadia Talks

 For the camera shots and angles quiz, we were given the task to choose an inanimate object and make it the center of a story. We had to create this story through 15 consecutive shots, using different angles and shots included in the required list. My teammate Dino and I used a teddy bear and a lego guitar. The story was about teddy's journey on becoming a professional guitarist. We positioned the teddy and guitar in different lightings and places in my room to help create the story. 

  Dino and I created a nice message, and did a good job of incorporating all of the angles. However, next time we can frame the shots better and make the story a little more diverse and interesting.
