The document provides an initial response and ideas for an audio story project. It discusses potential story ideas that were considered, including The Quiet Place and a haunted house soundscape. Research on existing products like The Quiet Place and Dr. Who was found to be useful for techniques like using ambient sounds or exaggerated voice effects. The format of a drama with narration is thought to best fit the chosen idea of a ghost story about ghost hunters and satanic forces. The response includes an initial title and logline for the original story. Ideas for sound effects, narration and storytelling are outlined. The initial feeling about the project is positive excitement, with a note to do more research on satanic names and religious elements.

Task 2: Initial Responses

2. Initial Responses and Idea Generation
Log your initial thoughts regarding the set brief in this document
What stories could you use? How do you feel about the different potential
formats? What are the positives about this project? What could be some difficult
aspects? Etc
Use the format on this document to guide this response – some are set as a
question on one slide, but you should look to add further slides as necessary

3. Which stories have you researched and looked
as potential starting points?
• The Quite Place
• Ghost story where
• Price of Fear – Speciality of the house
• Haunted House Soundscape
• Dr who

4. Which research into existing products has been the
most useful? Includes examples and explanations
• The Quite Place – Uses the lack of normal sounds in order to bring focus to
other sounds, e.g. normally walk with shoes on but sound is softer with
walking on feet.
• Dr Who – the voice acting was a great example, with the further use of
weird and unusual sounds. The voice acting is further exaggerated by cool
audio effects on it

5. Which production format [drama, narration,
etc] do you feel fits your idea best and why?
• Drama and a narration
• I feel like perhaps a drama with quite a bit of self narration would best fit
my idea as I am wanting to make a cool written ghost story about ghost
hunters and satanic forces.

6. Which story have you settled on and why?
My own story, because I like writing some of my own stuff and have come up
with my own concept for a story.

7. If you had to sell your story quickly, what is the
title and the logline?
• Title: The day I lost my soul
• Log line: Normally ghost hunters are crazed fanatics, adrenaline junkies
with too much time on their hands, people hopping to make a quick buck
by exploiting fans fear factors.
• - add more

8. What ideas have you had for sound effects,
narration and storytelling?
• sound effects, children laughing, children’s music, footsteps on stone floor,
suspense rising, flames, movement unnatural.
• Story telling, have some voice over bit with a bit of comedy, but have it go
serious.
• Story, have an intro where it is unclear if it was real or not

9. Initial feelings…how do you feel about the
project currently?
• Positive and excited
• It will be fun to experiment with
• Wondering if I will add enough sound effects

10. What other research do you think you need to
do?
• Look Into satanic names, religious ghost warding stuff and some Latin
words perhaps.
