Isiah Ferguson Review of Soundpiece

Session Notes

During this session, I presented most of the current production of my sound piece to my academic mentor Isiah Ferguson. As always Isiah's opinions and professional advice were gladly accepted as he expressed that  I must rearrange the order of dialogue that played towards the final at since main character Dillon and the Landlords lines previously switched back and forth which after reviewing tt personally was confusing for the narrative.

Moreover, he also commented that the addition of more intricate foley sounds to paint a picture for a scene. Also encouraging me to continue listening to the world around and apply my audio observations into my sound pieces, which would serve to produce a richer story to hear. Use a sound bridge to make the transition between different scenes or locations.

Absorbing the conversation with Isiah, I began to edit my sound waves and increase some lines that were quiet such as my recorded dialogue for the landlord and increase the wave height using the hardline limiter. to a level of twenty. (figure a)

Furthermore, additional ambient sounds such as m traffic walking down the stairs recording were louder than the dialogue. So once more my favourite tol the hard limiter was reduced to -20 made the sound quiet enough for the dialogue to be heard clearly. (figure b)
