Audio

     Close your eyes and picture the last time you watched a powerful scene that was truly memorable. Now imagine it without any audio. Pretty difficult to feel the same way about it now right? The visuals can be impressive and impeccable, but without the presence of audio; something would feel different. Almost like the soul of the movie was missing. It is an indisputable fact that audio plays a powerful role in how a piece is perceived and interpreted by the viewer. For example, music can help build tension in a scene, but if you change the melody in the same scene; it can all of the sudden feel sad, casual, happy, or humorous. In other words, with only a change in audio, you can change the whole meaning and trajectory of a film.

    Because of this, It naturally came to my attention from the beginning of this project that audio is highly likely to play a significant role in the success of my project. I must take my time in this part of the piece to insure that the final products execution is effective in making the piece feel even more engaging and complete. I will be using 2 types of audio to make up the audio section of my project, that being diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. Specifically, I want the non-diegetic sound to be a melody that is simple composing of a sequence of sounds that build tension, the music would ideally lack mids so that the diegetic sounds I want to incorporate would sill stand out. On the other hand, the diegetic sounds that will be used are going to be used to further exemplify the things that the viewer should be focusing on. In the typing sequences, the will be a emphasis in the sound of typing, when the person is receiving a notification, that sound will be amplified, and when they click a mouse the sound will be brought out to name a few examples of how I want to incorporate diegetic sounds.

    Although writing it out does not sound that difficult, I acknowledge that I will have to put in a lot of effort and execute a lot of trial and error in order to be able to come out with a final product that effectively represents my idea while feeling as seamless and appealing to the viewer as it sounds in my head.

Examples of Non-Diegetic Sounds I may use

(I was particularly drawn into one called "Into the void")
