Sounds

In this blog, I am going to be listing all the sounds we’re going to have and why we’re going to need them and maybe how we can get them. Most of these sounds are foley sounds, or sounds that we use everyday that we can use something else to create the illusion of that sound.

• Birds Chirping/ Nature sounds- This is more so for the ending of the film, when the girls are walking and talking in the park, a way we can get these sounds can maybe find a bird that’s nearby chirping and maybe somebody can use their mouth to create a very small but realistic wind sound, or somebody who has a really nice bird call can make the noise of a bird and what not.

•  Bell Ringing- The bell is for the very beginning of the film, when Destiny is sleeping on her desk and the kids talk as the bell begins to ring, we can get this sound by somebody using their own phone and searching up the sound of a bell unless the software the editor will have that bell sound, or a hard but good choice will be using the bell that’s in our school when the bell rings we can use that sound for the bell.

• Walking- The walking is for all throughout the filming, this will be very easy to do though because walking is an everyday thing so we can record somebody walking or use something that sounds similar to walking that can give off an illusion of walking.

• Crying- The crying is toward then end, during Destiny’s flashback, when she’s in the church crying, we can get this sound by recording a friend who knows how to face cry very good, or we can just use our actor to cry so it’s not that big of a deal sound, especially because she’s crying very soft it’s not like a big huge cry for help type of cry or like somebody just died type of cry just a little tears shedding.

• Loud Boom sounds- The sound I am looking for is very hard to explain, but it’s like a bang like if you ever watched law in order the beginning the little dun dun sound, or a sound like when a judge bangs their little hammer thing, but this sound is going to be more so used toward the ending, during Destiny getting suspended, we can get the sound by banging on a desk or a wooden chair very lightly to make it sound how we need the sound to sound but also to make it a little loud but not too loud where it hurts everyones ears.

• Whoosh-  The whoosh sound is going to be used for the flashbacks, the sound of it is supposed to sound like a wind type sound but if you’ve ever watched a movie or show that has flashbacks you’ll understand how the whoosh sounds and you’ll understand when I say it needs to sound like a flashback type of whoosh, we can possibly get the sound by heavy wind or using your mouth lightly to blow gently soft air creating an illusion to get the sound i’m looking for.

• Door Closing- The door closing is also used in the very beginning when all the kids are leaving out also for when Destiny walks out he teachers class, we can easily get this sound by opening and closing a door somewhere in the school or at home, we can also just use the door that we will be using to close the door.

• Dialog- Lastly, dialog is a type of all sounds yes but dialog is also communication, so the dialog is also use all throughout the film for characters speaking back and forth to each other, therefore this sound will be very easy to get, all they have to do is act, the characters just have to read the script and talk to each other like that.

This blog was just a description on all the sounds that we’ll be using, how well get them, and when they’ll be needed. You can also imagine how the sounds should sound because I described them if you get the reference.
