Reflection To Project 1B

From this portion of the project I expanded my knowledge of Final Cut Pro immensely.  Before working on this I knew how to organize things on the timeline and place in and out points and create sub clips but I wasn’t aware of the neat things you can do to manipulate sound.  One of my favorite sound effects that we used in our sounds cape is the reverb.  We placed it on this sound of a girl screaming and like magic it sounded as if the girl was screaming while falling down a hole…perhaps even a rabbit hole (Alice In Wonderland maybe?). 

            In the beginning of the editing process my partner and I had a conceptual idea about our title we were given, but as the hours passed we played more with the sounds and consequentially the whole project got really dark, really quick.  We liked the eerie noises we created and got even further into our imagination.  I learned that even though you can’t necessarily see images from the sound clips, you could still see the levels.  Also, you can close your eyes while you playback something and your mind automatically creates a visual to match the noises coming from the headphones.  I really enjoyed this part of the project and would like to start more projects in this order of sound first and picture later.
