Presentation

In todays seminar we presented our sound design piece. I was the first to present and I was looking forward to finding out what people thought. I briefly explained my influences, been Fallout and how I went about creating the tree falling and the trolley sounds. I did all my mixing sound design using headphones so I was a little worried about how it was going to sound through speakers.

Overall the piece sounded really good, there where a couple of sounds that I noticed that where a little too high in the mix, where all the delicate sounds like the bag rustling and the metal clunk in the petrol station. The feedback I got was mostly positive, they thought the atmos tracked work really well, the old radio made the piece seem quite haunting. I was a little worried that I added so many sounds that there made the piece quite cluttered and all you wouldn’t be able to pick out the individual sounds. However that wasn’t the case, the only negative feedback I got was to do with levels and mixing, I think lots a people had a similar problem as everyone edited through headphones and not had chance to test it on speakers.
