Reflection #7

On your blog (no handwritten entries, please) please talk about:
- what your clip was - each scene that you saw
- how you decided sounds for each scene
- how you decided what foleys to record
- sound effects - where you got them from, how did you alter them, did you find enough?
- How do you think you will do against your peers? Did you find/notice sounds that others may have overlooked? Which ones?

1. The clip that I was assigned to was when Bill Jr. was being overpowered by the strong winds of the tornado. When he got control, he looked for a place to hide. First he got through a stage door, only finding it to fall down due to no reinforcements. Then he reached this stage of a room with a backdrop of an island. After messing around the stage, he eventually gets out of the stage from a door in the back. When he leaves, the stage falls down. Shocked, he runs away as the clip comes to an end.

2. I focused very hard on the steps that Bill Jr. made in this clip. I also focused on his reactions towards the environment such as falling obstacles and horns. After that I briefly worked on what the sounds of the environment would be, such as the ambience and the objects that Bill Jr. interacts with. 

3. Sadly, I wasn't able to record any foleys because I thought that I would find every sound effect that I need. It wasn't til the very end that I couldn't find a sound effect that I needed and that I could've recorded as a foley.

4. Most of the sound effects were from the Resource Central because I found it to be easier to find my sound effects there. However, it also had its cons - one being that some sounds weren't able to be imported. One sound effect that I altered was the steps that I found. I change the speed of the steps to match the steps of the video. I believed I found enough sound effects for the video, but I had the feeling I needed a few more.

5. I thought I was going to be challenging against my peers, having a friendly competition. And it was the opposite, I noticed sounds that I could've used to enhance my video, such as the small humor that Lanz made with cartoon foleys in his video.
