Finalising concept ideas:
For my final ideas for my 3D sonic rich environment concept, I used my previous research along with my previous design ideas to come up with some basic environment sound ideas.
I want my environment to be a peaceful and relaxing setting that feels both realistic and immersive to the viewer.
Brainstorms:
I wanted to convey a very natural and calming atmosphere, so I continued my brainstorming, thinking about sound effects that go with this kind of idea.
Here are my brainstorms:
Sound environment concepts:
Using my brainstorms, I then came up with five environmental sound combinations that I could use in my 3D sonic rich environment, I tried to make each idea as unique and interesting as possible as well as following my own guidelines for a relaxing and realistic environment, full of natural elements.
IDEA 1)
- Water running (stream)
- Water dripping (stalactites)
- Bats chirping
- Lights buzzing
IDEA 2)
- Water dripping (stalactites)
- Radio (white noise)
- Radio music (classical)
- Animals digging
- Echoed conversation (talking)
IDEA 3)
- Crickets
- Bats chirping
- Synth music
- Dripping (stalactites)
IDEA 4)
- Dripping (stalactites)
- Leaves rustling
- Animals digging
- Bats chirping
IDEA 5)
- Synth music
- Leaves rustling
- Branches creaking
- Running water (stream)
- Dripping (stalactites)
Which ideas I like/what they could offer
My favourite idea out of these and the one I want to use for my final concept is idea 1.
I feel that the sounds in this idea are all calm and constant enough to create a calm and mellow mood as well as conveying nature through the water and animal sounds as well as suggesting human inhabitants with the soft buzzing of the lamps.
I feel it will be very important to find the right sounds for this environment so I will continue to look through sounds on-line until I have found the best ones to include with this environment.
