The summary discusses an audio project being created that is an interview at a police station that has gone wrong. The interviewee, Luke Wills, is being questioned about the death of his mother, Olivia Wills. Luke mentions that he and his family briefly lived in a haunted house called Harland House years ago. Strange events occurred there that only his sister claimed to experience. The interview aims to uncover if Luke had anything to do with his mother's death and if the haunted house had any lasting impact on the family. Flashbacks to sounds from the house will be incorporated into the audio.

2. Story
• For my story I have chosen to use the haunting of hill house in which it is set in America and
is a story about a family who once lived in a haunted house and how it will stay with them for
ever. I decided to use this story as I think it will draw a younger audience as well as the horror
theme into it. The family are grown up now but it is all about how the house that they briefly
lived in will stay with them forever. It starts with the two young children who are twins who
see things that the rest of the family don’t for example the little boy called Luke sees a little
girl everyday called Abigail however when asking his parents about it, there is no one that
lives around them. Luke and nelly are twins and feel whatever the other one is feeling this is
shown throughout the whole story. We also learn that they left the house without their
mother and it is unclear whether she was alive or dead when they left. The whole of the
story gives us flashback memory's to their childhood however it is set when they are older
and really shows us how much of a negative impact the house had on the rest of their life.

3. Existing Products Research
• The beach soundscape
In this video there are many different sounds such as birds chirping which makes a lot of people think of a
beach scenery or around the sea side as well as the crashing as the waves which also relate towards the beach
vibe. I think that they have used these common sounds as it will make people think about the beach even if it
isn’t actually a beach it makes you feel as if you are there. There is a lot of background chatter which could also
relate towards the beach scenery as there tends to be a lot of people at the beach, all these factors add
towards the end audio of a beach.
• The haunted house soundscape
In this video there are many sounds which add to the feeling of making you think that you are in a haunted
house, firstly there are sounds of what seems to be a storm this makes the listener feel as if they are in a
cold/dark environment already then some angry bird squawking which also relates to the dim dark scary feel
that this video is giving off already, we then hear some footsteps which sound very loud and singled out this
makes the listener feel as if they are the one who is actually walking themselves, after this we hear a high
pitched gate open slowly signifying that we are moving, throughout this audio clip there are many different
sounds signifying that the person is scared as there are loads of loud gasps and sudden movement that
someone would do if they had just been frightened.

4. Existing Products Research
– Millennium falcon soundscape
In this audio clip there are a lot of sounds that contribute towards a end result of you
feeling like you are there and living through that for example it starts with a lot of high
pitched airy sounds along with like timers going off as if you were in some kind of
spaceship/airplane, there is a full background noise that is a high pitch buzzing that can
make the listener feel as if they are moving.
A day in school soundscape
This audio clip makes the listener feel as if they are in school, it starts off with footsteps and
then a loud bell ring I think a lot of people can relate to the bell sound as it signifies school
for a lot of people and makes them feel as if they are actually there. It then leads to a
drawing or scraping along the chalk board another signal that they are in school sat in front
of a board being taught.

6. Planning

7. Idea Generation/Initial Reaction
For my idea I have decided to do a horror story as if I was at a police station and it
had been recorded what I was saying. I will be creating and thinking of my own
sound effects when in the story. In my story I will talk about a haunted house that
the person was stuck in for 1 night and in which it changed there life I think that if
I make my story as if it has just happened it will feel more realistic towards the
listener rather than telling a story about a few years ago. I will make my story as if
when I am saying about things that happened there will be flashbacks and the
noises will be happening when the things are happening.

8. Proposal
Working Title:
interview’s gone wrong
What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
Audience:
my audience is going to be 16 year olds and over because I hope that my audio will be quite scary and I don’t want to offend
anyone however I still feel that it will be listenable and enjoyable to my audience. I wont have a specific gender for my video as I
feel that it wont really be aimed towards one certain person as I feel that it can be anyone who will like to listen to it.
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc. Use the Audience Classifications
PowerPoint on Blackboard to help you develop this section.
Why would your project appeal to this person? Discuss each audience element in relation to content (why would your product
appeal to the age group? Why would your product appeal to the gender? Etc.)
Project Concept (approx. 200 words)
the concept for my project is that I will create a horror audio tape that will seem as if someone has just been interviewed and
someone is listening to the tape of that interview , I want it to be a scary chilling story that leaves the listener on edge. To do this I
will use different recorders and use genuine police interviews to make this as realistic as possible. Using an editing software and
the actual people to make it as realistic as possible I want it to be an on going story that at times could confuse the listener and
creep them out. Using real police interview tapes I will listen to how different things are said and what is a reoccurring theme in
them.
What is the concept for your project and what are you going to make?
What research did you need to conduct and how will it help you make your project?

10. Sound Effects
Sound Effect Needed How I Will Create the Sound
Doors slamming Finding creaky doors and moving them to
make the specific sounds I need
Footsteps Go up some stairs so that I can achieve a
echo sound of footsteps
Chairs moving Find a metal/plastic chair so that I can
recreate a police chair sound
Heavy breathing Breathing close to the microphone to get
a really loud and intense breathing sound
Rain/storm sounds Use water drops as well as trees rustling
to make a specific storm noise
Loud bangs Use the ground/walls to make a loud and
singular bang
Chopping/slicing noises Use a gilatine to create a fast and sharp
cutting noise
Quite muttering in the background I will record people walking and talking in

11. Resource List
Resource Owned/Cost What sound effect will it be
used for?
Doors / walls Owned Creaking of doors as well as loud
bangs against the walls

13. Production

14. Daily Reflection Day 1
• Today I used the audio recorders to record all the speaking and sound effects that I made
myself. I found it hard to make sound effects properly and get them to actually sound like
they are real for example I wanted to get a rain sound effect however I used a water
effect to create this but when I listened back to it, it literally just sounded like a tap and
not actually like a rain storm. I also found it hard to get each scene of lines to sound like
they had just carried on from each other as I found that they sounded as if it had just
been stopped as the recorder had moved a little bit each time so it sounded
quieter/louder. Once I had recorder everything I needed to I decided to go through each
of the recordings and put which ones I was going to use into a folder, and then started to
put them into adobe audition and started playing around with what I wanted to do with
them for example cutting, slowing and hearing.

15. Daily Reflection Day 2
Today I looked for background music as well
As sound effects as I found that it was hard to
Actually make some specific sounds I needed
therefore I used YouTube to find them and then
converted them to Mp3, I then put each of the
sounds in separately so that I could edit them to
make them exactly how I wanted them and ready
for my audio.
