Sound

On the Search for Sounds

Sound is something that my partner and I knew would be essential to our opener. Since we are showing a man driving, we need to incorporate all of the sounds one would hear while driving. This will allow for our opener to feel real and accurate. Throughout the film we want to play around with sound and the lack of sound. We believe this will help us with emphasizing some actions/ emotions.

Our first step with sound in making a list of all of the necessary sounds we need to make or find on a copyright free website.

Primary Sound List

• Car engine + car driving
• Radio + Radio Music
• Car keys
• Hands hitting steering wheel in frustration
• Trunk Closing
• Phone Call Conversation
• Heavy Breathing 

Secondary Sound List

• Background road
• Birds chirping 
• Air Conditioner
• Moving around in car
• Placing Car in park

We already have some sounds such as the phone calls and hands hitting the steering wheel recorded. The rest of the sounds we will have to find online or create through foley. We would love to incorporate some foley sounds for possibly the trunk closing and keys dangling. For the trunk my idea is to record a textbook hitting the ground. The key sound can be created by shaking up some change.
