This is an old revision of the document!

As part of our original exhibition plan, creating a feeling of immediacy for the viewers was a target we planned to achieve. Creating a realistic atmosphere and telling a good story depends in large part on well executed sound design.

Students learned how to use, store, and assemble basic recording equipment, and through use of Audacity software, to edit and manipulate sound. Our first task in this area was to sample different sounds, and to edit them into a coherent whole to tell a simple story.

We designed our own simple sets with everyday materials, and filmed a short story on desk tops. The results were quite cute, and more importantly gave us some useful practice in thinking about how to use and edit sound for communication purposes.
