PROJECT 1: AUDIO IMAGING
"Students are given a task to create an audio image using any of the
combination below. The audio should create an image for the firstperson
point of view to be able to visualize on what is going on based on just
the audio tracks. It should be able to tell a story for the chosen
scenario. Students are not allowed to use any voice or dialogs."
The choice scenario are:
- Wildlife + Background
- Everyday Home Life + Background
- Cities + Transport + Exterior Atmosphere
- Industry and Electronic sounds + Background
- Weather + Background
- Market + Rural atmosphere + Background
____________
Progress
When choosing the scenarios, I went with scenario 1 as I had a Jurassic Park
outbreak theme that would go well with the wildlife and background noise.
Using the website called Freesound, my lecturer, Mr Razif, gave, I also found the sounds needed for my audio
imaging project.
Here is the link to the written scenario and the sounds used within the
audio:

Using the highlight method that my seniors used, I can figure out if my
foreground or background needs more audio work like adding or subtracting
additional audio to round out the entire experience.
____________
Once I was done with writing the script, I went into Adobe Audition to start
the audio imaging project by using the skills learned like equaliser and
volume in the exercise project.
Feedback for Progress:
Play around with the dinosaur noises => play with the stereo so that it
sounds like it's walking around instead of sounding like the dinosaur is in
the vehicle with the people => use the panning tool
After getting feedback from Mr Razif, I went ahead and did what he suggested
to make my audio more dynamic and also kept that advice in mind when I
continued with the progression.

REFLECTION
For this project, I felt that I was able to improve my storytelling
abilities by using audio as a way to visualise what I have written. Although it didn't follow the script as thoroughly as I wanted it to, I think I was able to create something similar enough and didn't destroy the story's integrity and flow. After being in this class, I found that my classmates' work, seniors' work and Mr Razif's acknowledgement made it very motivating to work on this project as I had the freedom to showcase my creative liberties without judgement from my peers and lecturer. Finally, with everything in mind, I felt that this project was a hard task to complete but still a very enjoyable one nonetheless because it was really fun throughout the project.
