6.) Sound Story- Beach Day

Helloo!! Welcome back or welcome to my blog! In this post, I have uploaded my sound story audio as well as my foley video. I will also be sharing a little bit about my experience making a sound story for the first time!

My experience 🏖-

My sound story depicts a fun, relaxing day at the beach. Key points in the story are laying beachside listening to the ocean and background reggae music, the opening of a soda can, and people laughing and splashing in the ocean.

While creating my sound story project, I found it fairly easy, however, it was also tedious. To create both the sound story and the foley stage video, I used IMovie. With using this editing platform, I had to individually insert each sound clip and layer them the way I wanted.

During this portion of editing, it took some getting used to to layer and adjust the volume of each clip because with this being the first time I edited a video without any help, the initial layering of clips can seem overwhelming, but after tweaking and learning, it became easy, but tedious. 

Other than my background music, bubble sounds, and some additional ocean wave sounds, every sound made was my own. For instance, I made wave sounds by layering me blowing into a microphone, a video taken outdoors for ambient noise, me gently brushing the mic, etc... Additionally, I opened and poured a canned drink close to the mic. I also layered multiple videos of me laughing and exclaiming to mimic the voices of multiple people having fun. 

Because I made most sounds myself, and edited using a platform with no templates, the project did take a good amount of time, but I preferred the method I used because I found that I had a lot of control and creative freedom. I successfully learned how to layer, chop, and adjust audio clips without the inclusion of visual video. Since I did the sound story first and the foley video after, once I got to the foley, it was a breeze because I had already explored and got acquainted with the tools of the platform. Overall, I'd say I had a bit of a rough start, but eventually smoothly and successfully edited my project.
