Alex and I booked out a zoom microphone in order to record sounds from across Sheffield such as roads full of passing traffic in the distant and muffled voices of passers by. This was to include a sense of atmosphere among the soundtrack rather than it containing only sounds from household objects. We recorded objects in the kitchen such as a kettle boiling and bacon frying in a saucepan. This was due to those sounds being the most associated with a morning routine and we thought the audience would then be able to figure out our idea of the morning routine as they would only be presented with audio rather than visual footage.
We decided to use Soundtrack Pro and although this was the first time I had used this program, I was able to figure out how to use it and as Alex had already used this before this also helped with working out how to use it. We imported the sound bites and began to trim and rearrange them to create our desired narrative. For the morning routine we replicated the first sequence of kitchen sounds with the speed increasing after each sequence. This was to create an increase in tension signifying to the audience that disequilibrium was to occur at any moment; as the purpose of our sound piece is to surprise the audience with a narrative that seems like a regular routine yet an unexpected plot twist occurs at the end. Then we decided to place the audio files of various atmospheres after in order to signify a change in the routine, before the climax of the audio including shouting and the argument between two males over a disagreement involving money.
Finally we exported our sound track onto a CD to present to the class for feedback on our idea.
