Reflection Questions

      What did you do and how did you do it?

For my audio I was making ambient sound for my part of the trailer. I made the sound for the footsteps by using foley techniques on the stone and changed it to make it sound slightly more like it was on metal. The gravity lift sound was originally going to be  made by using sound of the wind but non of the samples sounded good so I eventually went to a sound library  to find a good wind sound or another sound that could be changed to sound like a gravity lift.

    Does your final audio product meet your original intentions? If it does not match your planning explain why

My audio does meet my intentions as I think that the sound of the gravity lift with the look of it fits and sound like how I would imagine a gravity lift would sound. The footsteps are ok as the original sound had a few quiet parts so I had to take the steps I liked and put it all together but at the same time I had to keep it from just repeating the same steps over and over again.

Self evaluation   

How did you manage your time? 

I manged my time by spending half an hour on both sounds so I could get both sounds to a standard I liked.

What did you struggle with?

I struggled with Cubase because I feel like I did not understand some of the things Cubase let me do. I think if I was given more time to understand Cubase it would be easier to use.

How does your finished audio compare to professional examples? 

The music that is in the trailer fits in with the trailer and makes the transition between sounds better.

      What do other people think of your finished audio?

d    From the youtube comments I think that the overall response for the sound was good as it made the scene more realistic.

           What could you improve upon?

      I think that  I could improve on my sound by making more of it as the sounds so that sounds could flow more and have sounds come in at diffrent times.

   

          If you were to do it again what would you do differently next time?

      If I could do this again I would try to make the sounds fit more and I would try to make more so that the sounds are not just playing throughout the animation  and I could have it come in and go out.

      What did you learn? 

      I learned the basics of Cubase. I also learned how to import the and export sound into and out of Cubase and convert the sound files.
