Week 3 – Noticing Sound – Aftermath

Following the event occurred on last Wed and Thu (2nd-3rd), a few of the questions were left on the whiteboard hanging all the way in the oddest possible spot of the room.

Q: What kind of thing did sound help you notice that images might not have?
A: By taking away the visual element of the media, sound becomes the dominate form of transmitting information from the media to the consumer which results in noticing details that would otherwise ignored or covered by visual distortions. Similar to reading a novel where visual elements are very limited, the reader will often have to imagine the scene that writer originally intended, while sounds works in a similar fashion but would often be more affected by one’s perspective, leading its listeners to a narrower range of possible imaginary scenes.

Q: 3 in 1 question as followed
1) What was the difference between listening to your own ear & then listen to recorded sound?
2) What did you notice differently?
3) Was there anything in the recording that was curious to you?
A: When recording the sound, everything seems and sounds just about as normal as it could possibly get, likely due to having visual elements as a strong base of support, once the visual are taken out, a sense of what will happen next becomes more apparent.The curious part of the recording isn’t exactly a part of the recording, but rather what comes after it, as the trolly passes further and further, there was a sense of something quick and loud will soon happen at some point, despite it never actually happened.
