Kieran's Self Grading: Sound

My role within the post-production process of the video was to create the sound in the video. I started by completely muting all audio in the video and then layering this audio to not only seem natural, but also suit the visuals during the sequence.
I feel as if my work is currently a high level 3 or low level 4

Justification:

• The sounds are well mixed, creating a natural, appropriate ambiance (including synchronization of footsteps with visuals in some of the earlier shots - had to stop due to time running out)
• I believe that the choice of soundtrack/music was a good decision, mixing that industrial modern feel of the synthetic drums. I then mixed this track to gain more tension by speeding up/increasing volume at points of suspension
• Use of dramatic "boom" sound effects to create fear and  creation/release of tension
• Volumes increase the closer the characters are to the screen
• The first 20 seconds of the audio has Left/Right audio mixing (best experienced with headphones) when the subject moves from left to right of the screen

Improvements:

• Ran into deadline issues due to being the final stage, so better time management could be an improvement
• Added more layers toward the end (was pushed for time)
• Mixed the volume of ambience between each shot like in the first 20 seconds of the sequence
• Sync all footstep sequences
