Homework - Short Soundscape

* Task *


'Download at least 10 sounds from the BBC Sound FX library, create a short soundscape for a location of your choice, and then upload to Soundcloud for peer review'






My Process : 

  • I went into BB Sound FX library with a pre set idea of wanting to find sounds that would embody a primary school playground.
  • The sounds I chose included : child murmurs , gravel scrunching, a car speading off , baby giggles, a ball being kicked , wind, a baby subtly saying 'mama' , birds tweeting and another few additional sounds of kids playing.
  • I made sure on Adobe  Audition to add a fade in at the beginning of my sounds so that everything blended in and sounded smooth/together (all one sound)  as opposed to it sounding forced and like a bunch of sounds being clumped together. I also added a fade at the end for the same reason.
  • Once I uploaded it onto Soundcloud I made sure to listen to other peoples sound and leave a comment.

On Connor's killer soundscape I wrote - 

"The use of the footsteps at the beginning really builds suspense nicely to the screaming/gun shot towards the middle. Also liked how it ended with footsteps too"

His soundscape I felt really did live up to the title , even without his title I would be able to place the sounds to that of a combat scene or gun battle with innocent people being killed or scared.
