Soundscape Reflection

I completely forgot about this.

How does your final film convey the assigned sense description?
Since we had to create a defined beginning, middle and end to our composition, we wanted the "icy" part to stand out from the bookend parts. We did not add many effects to the intro and ending for this reason.

How could the piece be strengthened, technically and conceptually? 
Technically, I would've wanted to spend more time on tweaking the effects to the individual sounds we created. It doesn't sound like it, but there are sections where there's 10-15 tracks on top of each other. I also wanted to experiment with panning, but unless we were listening to headphones or in 5.1 surround sound, I didn't want to overwhelm myself if there was no payoff for the classroom experience.
Conceptually, I would've capture more ambient and room noise, we had to rely on what others recorded and it just didn't feel organic to me.

What was the most challenging aspect of this project, and how did you deal with it? 

The most challenging aspect was recording our sounds in just a couple of hours. I know we were the first group back, but my other recording team members were in different "sense" teams and I was the only "icy" dude in the group. I didn't want to drag everyone around to fulfill my ocd nature. 

What did you discover through this project about making film?
I discovered that sound plays a huge part in film and capturing emotions. Sounds can turn a visual into something completely different than what it appears.
