What was the connotation of your music and sounds?

Well, as I watched the clip entirely, since the clip is based on science-fiction, I went with adding space sound effects and technology sounds/often in a futuristic setting. I think the connotations of the space sounds and technology, can really give us a chance to explore the ways of science/machinery. When I start to see sci-fi on a whole new level, I can really feel the technology/space vibe when hearing these sounds. I heard the sounds one by one, I felt like the sounds was more in depth, like one vision for the future, in creating a link between the present and the future. These sounds I picked out from Sound snap, can really tell us how science-fiction invites us to consider the complex ways our choices and interactions contribute to generating the future.

How does sound work in the scene?

I think sound can create that feeling of a certain place or person, when they start to build up emotions, which also engages audiences by delivering information to them. It increases the production, it gives emotional responses, it emphasises what's on the screen/what goes on behind the curtain and is used to indicate the uneasiness when we preview it, when it's been put to good use, language, sound effects, music, and even silence, can really elevate a video/film dramatically.

What was your intention in terms of story telling?

It really gives me and others an opportunity to learn from another a person's experience and it can strengthen and challenge our opinions a whole step further. When a story catches our attention and engages us, we are more likely to absorb the upcoming message it is trying to tell us and can really uplift/expand on what inspires us, when we watch it.

{Music/SFX I have chosen for my audio podcast}:

{Going to Sound Trap to add audio}

Importing little red riding hood file to Sound Trap:

By clicking on the 'import file', I should be able to add the little red riding hood podcast into the software.

I previewed it to make sure there was no errors.

By following the plan document, I added the music 'bunny hop' which I had already downloaded.

What I was going to do, is put the volume down around the average setting, since I want to think more about the audience and they wouldn't be able to hear the narrator speaking over a loud track.

For the bunny hop audio, I'm going to start it off as a faded in, then going into the original audio volume.

I think with the audio faded at the start, will give the narrator a chance to talk more about the story. Also, I wanted to attach that so it can be used to slowly introduce a shot to a viewer. Moreover, it can also be used to make a dramatic effect. For instance, going from a beautiful audio/peaceful to heavy metal, as if another character with a different stereotype is being presented. In other words, it can also make the audio a bit smoother and create a dramatic effect.

I even did the same with the other tracks I've imported into the platform.

For this audio track, I had to cut out the starting point and leaving the ending as it is, since the knocking at the start was too quiet and I want the audience to hear the sounds of a knocking door. Something that will make them jump out of their seats or to interest them.

So halfway through finishing, I was able to import the tracks I am going to be including, using the plan I had already done.

For each track, I had to make the volume loud or quiet, because I want the audience to imagine what it would be like to experience the same phase.

So for the SFX, I wanted to make them a bit louder.

When the narrator was up to the line 'the wolf gobbled her up', I came up with an idea to make this story even more interesting, by adding a bit of dramatic music to show how the grandma sees the wolf in her perspective.

So with adding dramatic music 'Flutey Sting' and a fade in and out, I was able to recreate a sound effect, making it how the grandma sees the wolf in her eyes.
