This week, our studio’s focus is on the intricate world of sound elements in filmmaking. As I journey through the process of refining and honing my filmmaking skills, I find myself growing in appreciation for the role of sound. With each new project I undertake, the profound impact of high-quality audio elements becomes evident, leading to an improvement of my overall craft. I’m continually learning how best to seamlessly integrate sound, discovering moments where a mere whoosh or booming sound can dramatically heighten the impact of actions. Even a mysterious ambient score possesses the extraordinary ability to evoke goosebumps among the audience, often before the visual content even comes into play.

Undoubtedly, if world-building stands as a cornerstone in the realm of filmmaking, then sound completes this intricate puzzle. Sound doesn’t solely contribute to the authenticity of the narrative, but it also possesses the remarkable capacity to amplify and enrich the storytelling experience. This symbiotic relationship between sound and narrative enhances the overall immersion, making the storytelling exceptionally compelling.

As we delve into narrative techniques, our class has revisited the timeless concept of the 3-act structure. Aside from creating an opening sequence, parts of the requirements of Assignment 2 is also to implement well the 3 act structure. As a result, my current aim is to create story that’s straight forward yet powerfully impactful, and have a clear 3 acts narration. This narrative will deftly build tension, culminating in a climax that leaves a resonating impression despite being simple.
