1. Experiments

2. Process
• I used adobe premier pro to create my audio
book, I began by creating a new project and
importing my morning routine audio I also
created that by recording on my phone and
emailing that to myself this was 22 seconds
long. Once imported I used the drag tool to
move my main audio so far I found this simple
because I have used premier with other
projects and practising steps like this really
help me to learn and achieve the best
possible audio outcome I normally like to split
my audio into different sections because I find
it confusing having to re listen to each part
because I might be editing the wrong section
however this audio isn’t as long as my final
audio will be although I wish I had done this
because it would result with better strategies
and helps me a lot.

3. Process
Secondly, began to experiment
with different sound effects off
the internet, and added my
first one underneath the actual
full audio I created how i did
this was got to file and import
and use my USB stick to save
the sounds on there instead of
downloads as I wouldn't’t be
able to then use them on a mac
computer. I downloaded the
sounds as a MP3 and found
this also quite simple after I got
the hang of it. I chose simple
morning routine sounds so my
audience would be able to
understand what is going on
and recognize the sound effects
One of my favourite things when creating
audios is finding the sound effects because this
is when I'm able to search and try different
sounds and test them out and pick which I
prefer this process doesn’t take too long either,
I think sound effects also finish a audio off and
make them stand out and grab the audiences
attention a lot more.

4. Process The sound in which I used to get them all of was
soundbible.com this was really helpful because
it had every single sound in which I was looking
for at a perfect volume, in this process I had
began to add a lot more sound effects and I kept
adding this below the full morning routine
audio. I shortened the sound effects down and
added them in the places which fit correctly with
the audio. At first struggled with finding sounds
until I found this website. I tried searching on
YouTube, but the sounds came across quite
boring and not many matched with things like
e.g. a hairdryer. However I did begin to over
crowd myself with sounds this is when I
struggled because I had to many sounds saved
on the side and began to get mixed up and
confused this was a bit time consuming so I had
to look through and delete ones I didn’t want
therefore next time I will know to not pick to
many and chose for definite on the ones I like.

5. Process
Lastly, once I added all my sound effects and
snipped them down, I listened through to make
sure it fit all together and sounded correct. I
increased the sounds and used the erase tool to
remove bits which didn't’t fit in. Within my audio I
think I did add quite a lot of different sounds, but
they was all short. I was also happy with my main
audio because it didn't have any background
sounds therefore it didn't ruin the audio. I am also
happy with my experiment outcome and it
matched my plan beforehand on word. However
my weakness within most of my projects is audio
as I do struggle fitting an audio together because
next time I feel I should chose my characters more
wisely and people who fit with the character
description because I don’t think my audio
sounded as formal and professional as I would
have liked it too, my experiments for this also took
up a lot of time so I didn’t have the chance to try
out other experiments with rushing onto my other
PowerPoints which needed to be completed.

6. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your
final product?
• The elements in which I will include within my final product
is mostly the same process to how I created this
experiment's will use the same type of websites for the
sound effects and I will be importing my own sounds by
emailing them from my phone on the computer and
making sure the quality is high. I am also looking to add
sounds underneath each one so they play at the same time
I think this gives a good effect when listening to the audio
book. I will also write out a script beforehand just like I did
in the experiment because this helps me a lot so I don’t
have to make things up in my head and I will actually
understand a lot more. Therefore all these elements will
have a huge impact with my final project and make them
turn out a lot more professional and high standards.
