Over the past few months we have been participating in some sound workshops led by Matt Applegate (PixelH8). We have been looking at different films and television shows and discussing the variety of sounds within them. Most recently we have actually gone a step further and created our own sounds using everyday items. Making lightsaber sounds with a slinky, thunder roars with a bed sheet and spinning blocks with two tiles are just a few of the sounds we have made in this module.
As we are also developing our Key Stage 1 game, we made some sounds that we have been able to implement into the final version of the game. Creaky doors, spinning blocks and footsteps are a few of the sounds we made that have made it into our game.
After having these sessions, it's really opened my eyes to the importance of sound in games, films and television. They not only set the mood but also allow the viewer/player to relate to certain events and characters. All of these sessions have been extremely productive and have been incredibly interesting.
Thanks Matt!
