Sound Project Post

 Sound Project: Donald Trump Conference

In our AICE Media Studies class we were assigned to make a project in which we had to tell a story through sound effects and other auditory techniques. I teamed up with two of my classmates and as we were brainstorming, we came up with lots of different ideas, but the one that we liked the best was the idea of making a presidential conference. We all thought it was a good idea, that it had potential and because of that, we decided to make our project about that.

First, we prepared the outline for the video. This was a little challenging due to everyone having different opinions on how we should do the project. In our outline, we specified that at the beginning the audience is going to hear the sirens of the cars that sport the president. Then they will hear one of the security guards say "POTUS on route", people cheering and the presidential music. After this, the president is going to walk into the room and we will hear his steps. 

The audience is going to hear the president say "Make America Great Again" and after that, there is going to be the sound of people clapping. 

While making our own sounds, we had a lot of fun but we also had trouble deciding the way we were gonna make them.  

After we finished making all of the sounds and videos, one of us started editing all the videos to put them together. 

Honestly, I believe we did a good job. The project came out better than I expected and I am glad everyone in my group tried and helped doing the project, everyone had the opportunity to make a contribution to it. Making this assignment was a fun experience and it definitely helped me putting in practice everything I learned about sound during class.
