Reflection: EDITING SOUND

Creating the soundscape for this assignment was not only confusing, but also fun. Once our group decided that none of us really understood what we were supposed to be doing, we decided to screw the rules and just have fun with it! I made a song out of all of the sounds and it turned out very well. We had a lot of fun manipulating sounds and it was interesting to see what one could do with the most random assortment of data. And once I got started, I was on a roll and could not stop. I was cutting, pasting, razor-blading, and reversing, etc! The main problem we ran into was that when we went back a few days later to apply the visuals, we could not find it anywhere. We couldn't find the exported .wav or the premiere project. We decided not to dwell on this and start from scratch. So I did it again, this time with a new focus, which was the quote: "I really want to get to know you better, okay!" When it came time to add the visual, however, I was pooped and relied heavily on my group member's creativity and suggestions to help me apply it to the soundscape. The final product, I have to say, it beyond strange. I'm glad it's done, and I think that, although it is strange, it is still appealing to the senses.
