Portfolio: Finaising Element 1 Submission

Postproduction After continuous experimentation, I finally listened back extremely excited with the sound of sonic divinity the filtering tool elevated the immersive experience and achieved the correct tonality and distinction between the two worlds of sound I am experimenting with.

Portfolio: Post-Production & Experimentation

Soundscape: Introduction I am really pleased with the outcome of my composition/soundscape introduction. There are multiple elements to unpack, including the music composition, sound effects, and how they enforce emotion and narrative.

Self Reflection Reflecting back, I most enjoyed working with sound for the screen however, ProTools is the standardised DAW in which I have still yet to complete a project, therefore, my goal this year is to use ProTools to the best of my ability. I enjoyed the roles of being a foley artist/engineer and sound […]
