Recording Sound



In this Friday lesson, we were looking at sound and how we can make our own sound in our title sequence. In the first hour, we looked at different title sequences like Avengers and Napoleon Dynamite looking specifically for the type of things that were used to make the sound. We discussed as a class and we heard things like: drums, symbols, footsteps, wind, door slamming, birds tweeting, whistling, and crashing.
In the second hour, we were given a sound recorder. The sound recorder was a special kind of recorder as it picks up the tiniest sound in the front and back speakers, like this one:



We got into our title sequence group and went around the school and made sounds. My group made a screaming sound (by someone screaming), crunching (by someone eating something crunchy), zipping (by pulling on a zipper), clacking (by plates being banged), whooshing (by someone turning the dryer on), beeping (by someone beeping their card on the card reader) and lastly scratching (by someone scratching a bag with their nails).

Having a lesson on creating sound got me and my group thinking of possible sounds that we could use for our title sequence.
