This week I started the edit of my acoustic portrait, I imported all of my recordings into Adobe Audition and gave them a second listen through. Much to my surprise, the editing process for the acoustic portrait was a lot simpler than I first thought. I decided I wanted to give my piece a cyclical nature so I started it off with the sound of a door opening and the light turning on, and ended it with the door closing and light turning off. All the recordings that I used throughout the piece were my own and I did not rely on any existing sound effects at all. It was really exciting to be able to put all my recordings together and paint a sonic picture of my bathroom, incorporating all the different sounds that a lot of people wouldn't even recognise normally. I layered a range of sounds on top of each other throughout the piece in order to created an element of extra depth for the audience, in order to fully experience the atmosphere of the bathroom.
I'm really happy with how my acoustic portrait turned out, especially as it wasn't my original idea! My acoustic portrait can be found here.
After finishing the edit of my acoustic portrait I then went on to write my critical introductions. I struggled a lot with this as I find it really difficult to explain the intentions that I have behind my work in a sophisticated and effective way. Luckily, after speaking with my tutor and discussing ways to make the process easier I managed to write two critical introductions that I was really happy with.
I'm really happy with how the whole module turned out and I'm so pleased that I managed to create to pieces of work that I'm proud of and thoroughly enjoyed producing.
