Sound Task

My initial sound task was to produce a scream. After researching further, I realised that sounds surrounding the idea of demonic possession were more un-naturally disturbing. This is not something I had looked realised or looked into before, and so thought that it would be more productive to focus on this.

I made the door sound by slowly closing my bedroom door. I then made the demonic sound by breathing heavily and growling slightly into a glass vase. Before this I had tried many things to make different sounds, such as a guitar for a scream and a balloon as a squeaky door. 

I recorded several clips on my iPhone and uploaded the best couple onto iMovie. From here I was able to adjust the clips and create a simple way to showcase them.

I dragged the sounds from my documents to iMovie, and trimmed them to the length that I wanted them, for example I opened my door in various ways several times in one clip.

After this I made sure the door sound was first, as I decided to make it sound as though the source of the noise was entering the room, a demonic creature entering a child's bedroom for example. To enable it to be shared, I had to make it part of a video, and so I decided to use blank titles (T.)

 

I chose plain black, so the audience would pay much more attention to the sound than anything visual.

 The demonic sounds link directly to the supernatural horror genre, which would be disturbing and adds tension as is a convention of this particular genre. 

I added simple white text that reads 'Demonic Sounds' so people listening are able to understand and add context to what the video is trying to achieve.

Finally, I shared the video on Youtube. This enabled me to embed the final video onto the blog.

Here is the final video.

 

 I am pleased that:

•  I was able to create something that sounded appropriate and was effective for the intended purpose.

 To improve:

•  I could have included a scream somewhere, although I am not sure how I would make this sound. 
• I could change the pitch and tone of the sounds to see if anything worked better than what I have already done.
