Hey Cambridge! Today I wanted to compile all the audio parts I need for my opening. They have to either be created by me or a copy right free sound from online.
First, I want to summarize what I need...
- Indie music
- Sniffles *
- Phone notification *
- Jessica's voiceover *
- Punk/rock music
- Zipper being yanked open *
- Snapping noise of hanger *
- Sighing noises *
- Boyfriend's voicemail *
- Fast-paced violin song
- Zipping noise *
- Phone saying "starting route" *
I'm sure I missed some small sound detail, so if I did, I will include it in another blog post! Also, I put a star (*) next to the ones I'm going to create through foley.
To begin, I asked my brother to create the boyfriend's voicemail. Here's the actual audio I'm going to edit in.
For Jess's voiceover, sniffles, phone notification and sighing, I need my actor, Crosby, to voice it so it's more realistic and I need to have another phone to text so I can record the notification sound.
I created the maps voice by using google translate and typing in "Starting route to Pharmacy." This way I got an artificial/computer sounding voice. Here's a video of me getting the audio.

Now I created the sound of the hanger snapping. Here's a video of me actually snapping one along with a photo of the aftermath! There are so many little pieces everywhere!
For the last of my foley, I zipped and unzipped my backpack. I tried out many patterns of where each zipper should be to get the best noise, and I cracked the code by having them both in the middle. It let me pull it apart really easily and caused a very sharp noise. It also created a rustling noise with my bag which makes it a lot more realistic.
Now that I completed most of the foley sounds, I moved onto getting copyright free sounds from online. One of the resources my teacher recommended for sound is Pixabay. It's a free photo and video website where you can find things to use without copyright issues.

These sounds all give off a very 2000's mood which is exactly what I'm going for!
I hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned the behind the scenes of my production!
