Sound Art Project

 For this assignment, we learned the elements of creating artificial sound, that is often created by folly artist and use to enhance sounds in different films. My group and I were tasked with replicating the techniques used for creating artificial sound. We first planned what sound we were going to recreate, and then proceeded to replicate it. 

The sound we recreated was of someone entering a restaurant.

The typical sound of a restaurant may include chairs moving, a bell ringing, and the sound of a menu moving. We decided to recreate exactly those sounds to the best of our abilities. 

Door Bell- For this sound, we used a chain, attached to keys and used it to make the sound. 

For the menu, we used a book, and mimicked the sound of flipping through the pages of menu. We further used the book, to make the sound of a chair moving by sliding it across a table. 

In the end, we combined all the sounds on a soundtrack and completed our project. A few things that my peers and I pointed out that we could've improved on was the length and the quality of our video and sounds. For instance, a lot of my peers made their videos longer than 1 minute long, while ours was only 24 seconds. A misunderstanding on our behalf caused for that mistake. In regards to the quality of our audio, it could've been better as compared to my peers, but overall I think we did an okay job.
