Sound

We looked into different sound techniques for Project 2 Monkey Island. In this project we researched soundscapes and foley sounds.

Soundscapes: 

Soundscapes are a commonly used technique in media which create and environment with the use of sound. Soundscapes are used to add character and environment to a scene rather than it just being empty apart from the main dialog, a soundscape can be seen in many scenes for example a wooden ship on the open ocean. In this example, the soundscape would be made up of sounds like strong wind, wooden creaking of the ship, the splashing of water and the occasional shout from the crew along with the swooping along with the gusts of wind in the sail. This technique can be used to bring life into any scene which is why it will be crucial in this project. 

Foley sound:  

Foley sound is an audio technique that involves creating sound effects with creativity and seemingly random objects. A well-known example of foley sound is where two halves of a coconut are hit together in order to mimic the sound of a horse on a stone road. This audio technique will be massively important during the process of adding sound as things like horses and pirate ships are hard to find as well as hard record the sounds they make.
