Sound Sketch One: The Color Red

Here is my first sound sketch of drift two! I went out on another walk to try to find more images of grasses or tall things waving in the wind. This is a collaboration of more of the images I got! I really like the intense red color in the first series of images, and I think that the last series of images will go really well with the video I posted earlier of the grasses blowing in the wind.

Putting sound together was REALLY hard for me to start out with. Initially, I tried to do a different clip of sound for every image cut. That just looked and sounded nightmare-ish. Seriously, it was really bad. Plus I never saved it, so when I tried to find it to export it, all the sounds were gone. Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed. After that, though, I learned that longer clips sound a lot better. I practiced with overlapping them and I like how they sound when the sound is more dynamic like that.

I don't really think I like this clip at all much. I like the images, but I'm not sure if I like them together. It might be too much of a contrast to go from bright red leaves and blue sky to the dark neutral tones of the grasses. Also, this clip is a little too quick to get a sense of feeling, which is not good. Perhaps, if I use this footage for my final video (which I think I will, because more and more I am liking the look of grasses), I will just not put these two images together. Maybe I can put words in between them or something.
