Sound Lists

    Hello! My friends were at my house all day today, so I didn't have any time to do this blog post until now! We were supposed to go to the gym together, but we decided not to and just hung out all day. It was super relaxing and nice. My friend just went back to her house, so I can finally do this post! Today, I want to discuss the specific sounds I want to use in each scene and find some resources from which I can get sounds, especially music, if we end up using any.

These two websites are perfect for finding royalty free music that we can use if we choose to during any of our scenes, and during out credit scenes as well.

This website is actually familiar to me, it is one I used during the beginning of the school year when we were assigned an audio project and had to make a scene solely using sound. This was a super fun project and great preparation for the sound portion of this entire project!

NEWS REPORT (SCENE 1)

    This scene most likely won't have much diegetic sound because the voice is what should be focused on, and most sounds are blocked out during news reports anyway. I assume the actual reporters have tiny microphones so their voices can be heard loudly and clearly, and I have been thinking of buying some tiny microphones from Amazon and putting them in the actors' clothes so the voices are coherent and understandable for the audience. 

- very quiet, muffled background voices

- footsteps

- Papers (if the anchor uses some notes)

- chair creaking

- TV buzzing

- quiet outdoor noises (wind, rain, traffic, etc..)

HOUSE (SCENE 2)

This scene will definitely have much more sound than the previous one due to its location, nature, and whats actually going on in the scene

- footsteps

- wind

- TV news report (in the background)

- coffee pouring

- birds chirping

- dogs barking

- AC hum

- coffee machine brewing

- fridge hum

- ringing from Lily

- Olivias voice

- door opening

- creaking of sofa

OLIVIA RUNNING (SCENE 3)

This scene will be filled with a lot of loud diegetic sound, since that will be the main focus on this scene, there won't be any voices that are specifically focused on leaving the outdoor noises clear to the audience.

- running footsteps

- door closing

- dogs barking

- wind

- stepping on leaves

- heavy breathing

- honking

- muffled conversations

- birds chirping

- clothes rustling

- garage doors opening

- water sprinklers

- car engine

- dog leash

- children laughing

- slow walking footsteps (from neighbors)

MEETING UP (SCENE 4)

This scene would most likely have fewer sounds than the previous one, and they'd be more muffled because there will be conversation and dialogue between Lily and Olivia.

- many different background conversations

- leaves crunching

- Lily's and Olivia's voices

- wind blowing

- phone notifications

- footsteps

- knuckles cracking

- car doors closing

We will definitely think of more sounds when we are actually doing the editing of the film, but these ones are ones we will definitely add, the other ones we might add will probably depend on the scene and what actually happens there as well. Looking at the scenes after we record them and listening to what actually goes on will also help us think of more sounds to add.
