    Hello, this is my sound story! Specifically, this story was about a kidnapping. As the ominous music plays, a man is barging into a home. Hauntingly, the man takes slow but heavy stomps throughout the hall. Along with these steps, he carries a knife in one hand, dragging it across the floor. As a women is panting and gasping with fear, the man dramatically opens the door, leading to a loud scream. He proceeds to tie and tape her up, zipping her in a bag. The heavy steps follow to the outside. The women gets thrown into the trunk and he walks over to turn the car on. He makes a quick getaway and never gets caught!

    The sound story was created on CapCut. My partner and I made sure to acquire many sounds in order to layer them, creating a more in-depth story. We played around with different sounds we could create. For instance, the knife scraping sound was created by metal scraping against metal. Additionally, the heartbeats were created from hitting clothes together. The heavy footsteps were made from using dumbbells. Finally, the opening of the door sound was created from a squeaky chair. In contrast, we also used sounds that were pre-made. We got these sounds from YouTube, for example, the sound of the women screaming. 

    Throughout this experience I acquired knowledge on foley sounds and how to use sounds within a story. I realized how important sound was to a story, without it, the story is less engaging and harder to understand. This was not easy to create, but not entirely difficult. This is because of  the creativity it took to use entirely different noises to create a sound that matched the story line. The editing contained many layers, making it a little more difficult than previous editing. However, this experience was entertaining as a story primarily made from sounds, without video, was an original experience.
