So last night I was watching the news with my family and I saw that the Kew Tram Depot was celebrating a centenary. They showed images of children using tram simulators so that they could see what it is like to drive a Tram. This shocked my brothers and I as we thought it was the coolest idea EVER.
My brothers and I are all really obsessed with any type of game simulator whether it be flight simulator, train simulator or truck simulator. So us being us, we googled ‘tram simulator’ and I found this little website: http://tramsimulator.com.au/. I clicked in and found a big red button. I clicked the button and there was just a tram ding. Not the best outcome BUT it has come in handy as for our Group 4 Project, we are creating a soundscape of the media bombardment in which we all experience every day.
We will now record this ding being played in order to add the sound of trams as a media text.
Sometimes my random thoughts can be helpful!
