I have been dreading doing these sound assignments all week. The thought of having to download and learn how to use new software made me cringe. I finally got the guts to take a hack at one of the projects. I’m so glad I did! It was so simple! I feel so silly for worrying about it all along. It just took a few downloads of sounds and uploading it onto Audacity and rearranging the sounds and Wahla I have a sound story. Of course my influence came from animals. I had a hard time trying to think of what 5 sounds I could use for this. I knew I wanted to use a dog barking, but wasn’t sure what story I could tell. Somehow, the thought of a dog chasing a cat came into my head. I used a dog sniffing out the cat, the cat meows, the dog barks, the cat hisses, and off they go. In the end, while they are running, I incorporated the angry cat (still the same clip as the hiss so it is still in the rule of 5 sounds) and another dog bark at the end to make it seem more realistic. Overall, It was extremely effort free and turned out pretty cool!
