Blog Assignment #9:
Post about your experience sound recording – what did you learn? (150 words)
Recording sound was a lot of fun. We wanted to do something different, so we went to the bowling alley. I had class the day we were recording, so Ethan (our sound recorder) and Melanie (our producer) met there early to sign the location permission form and start recording. The friendly staff took them in the back where they picked up some awesome mechanical sounds. When I got there we went to the billiards area and recorded sounds of a pool table. They had a ping pong table there too, so we recorded ping pong sounds too. I had the equipment one night and had fun picking up a few extra sounds at my house like a wind chime, the sizzle of food and the crack of a beer can. I tried to get my roommate's dog to bark, but she wouldn't bark at me or the doorbell... so I did get a doorbell noise. We still didn't have enough voice sounds, so the next day Ethan and I picked up more sounds on campus, including a hilarious conversation he had with a friend he ran into.
I learned to think about sound differently. These last two weeks I've really focused on sound in a new way. I never paid such close attention to details like that. I'm excited to start playing around with these noises in edit.
