PROJECT 01: AUDITORY IMAGING

Instructions
In this assignment, we are required to design sounds based on given themes. We need to generate our own story and plan the sounds in the scenes. Here are some process photos while developing my work:

wind
footstep
slower foot pace
radio stretch

leaf rustle
convenient shop
storm
radio
2nd thunder
glass door
step on carpet
flipping book

Reflection
Overall, this was a valuable and enjoyable experience. I learned how to build a soundscape from a written scenario into an immersive audio environment, and discovered how techniques like layering, pitch adjustment, modulation, stretching, and equalisation shape mood and storytelling. Although finding sounds that perfectly matched my intended emotion was challenging, it encouraged me to be more creative by blending and modifying audio.
