Sound editing

 

We have incorporated a variety of sound effects in our project.

Another frequently employed sound effect was a bell ring, which we utilized in various instances. Firstly, we used it when the character pressed the bell at the starting point in the classroom, indicating to the audience that the bell had been rung. We also modified a bell ring using GarageBand to create an abnormal or distinct sound compared to the other bell rings throughout the short film. This was done to capture the audience's interest and focus. Additionally, we incorporated a door closing sound effect to depict the closing of a door at the beginning of the film.

The bell ring sound effects can be considered both diegetic and non-diegetic. In the scene where the character rings the bell within the story, it exists within the scene itself (diegetic). However, other instances, such as when the screen blacks out and the bell rings after a few seconds, are non-diegetic since the bell cannot be physically observed in that particular moment.

The phone vibrating sound effect has multiple effects on the audience. Firstly, it adds a sense of realism to scenes involving phones, making the portrayal more relatable and authentic. Secondly, it engages the audience by grabbing their attention and immersing them in the narrative. The sound effect serves as an audio cue that signifies the presence of a phone notification or incoming call, heightening the suspense or intrigue in the scene. It can evoke curiosity and anticipation, prompting viewers to wonder about the significance or outcome of the incoming message or call. Overall, the phone vibrating sound effect enhances the overall viewing experience, contributing to the immersion and emotional engagement of the audience. We edited it so it would be loud and the only thing that would be noticed by the audience.
