The first part of this lesson was devoted to the generation of ideas for our sound project. I began initially exploring a sound journey of abstract directions, ascending (into the sky, space or heaven) and descending (underground, underwater or to hell), but felt no real narrative emerging that I could connect with. I then thought about common soundscapes, and how I could work within them to create a journey. I immediately thought of a jungle soundscape, and after some thought decided to create the journey of a man traversing a jungle before being attacked by a tiger. I felt that the scene would be impactful and exciting to listen to, while still being achievable and not overambitious.
The sound of a tiger roaring, leaping on and chewing an unfortunate traveler would be impactful and clear, even in a purely audio-based format.
We were then introduced to Adobe Audition, the software we were to use to compile and edit our sound pieces. The layout of Audition is similar to AfterEffects in terms of being based around key frames, so my prior experience definitely helped me get to grips with what I was doing. I spent the last part of the lesson familiarising myself further with the software and experimenting with some samples from freesound.org to create a simple atmos track to base my sound journey on.
