Sound Design

Sound Journey

My aim is to produce a soundscape that explores the emotional impact of storytelling through sound. 
Sound on its own as a piece of sonic art or as a soundscape has a power and quality to transport the listener to different worlds, different times. 

Using self-recorded sounds outside, at home and some voice recording I will create a Journey inspired by developing ideas from the Future Memories research. 

Recently I've been brainstorming and came up with an idea of a journey with a parachute.

Brainstorm

IDEA

Character: man
Location: plane, air/space, ground. 
Time: midday 

A man is in the plane and just about to jump with a parachute. He is sweaty, nervous and feels fear of the coming danger. Suddenly he becomes brave and jumps with a parachute into the air. 


All he can hear is how he is cutting the air like a sword. He faces a fear, but the fear no longer faces him.



After this life changing journey he hits the ground and feels ecstatic. Itis emotional for me as I experienced this journey.


SOUND STORYBOARD

Jumping with a parachute from the plane

Recorded sounds: PLANE (Fear) - foot steps, door slide, wind, "hmm" sound as he jumps from the plane, scream, plane sound fade away, clothes flapping, coat sound as parachute opens, wind sound get less & less, birds sound gets louder, hitting the ground, "hah" sound at the end as he lands safely - GROUND (happiness).
