Post 9: Sound: The Audience is Now Deaf


            For our sound project, we had a quite an interesting time not only recording different audio samples, but also finding excellent locations to record them.  All in a matter of two nights, we were able to gather all the necessary sounds we needed.  We had to do a bit of walking to find perfect locations, but some spots proved to be surprisingly quality locations to be used as impromptu Foley studios.  Our collection of audio samples consisted of natural sounds, background noises, human sounds, dialogue and more.
            For most of the sound recordings, we searched for places that would be the least effected by unwanted background noise.  To our surprise, we discovered that the courtyard on the side of Kenan Hall.  If you stand perfectly in the center, the noise will bounce off the wall and reverberate back to you.  Also, don't use the black box in the editing lab for recording screaming.  When you step out, everyone in the room will think you just murdered someone.  Trust me, it's NOT that soundproof.
