In this session, I was in charge of sound in the film. I used 2 audio sources, recorded room tone, and made some sound effects after filming was done. I also recorded the dialogue of the characters after shooting scenes as well. The director and I collaborated with composing the background music in the film.

Reactions to the Final Version
“I liked that the beginning, middle, and end was clear” – Michelle
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Our film this session was Simple because the plot was easy to follow, Unexpected because the plot twist at the end, Emotional because the main character ends up getting caught, and it is a Story because it contains a beginning, middle, and end.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned a little about all the visual story elements and I used the rhythm element in our group’s film this session. I have grown as a person because I can now use these elements that I have learned in future projects yet to come.
