First Sound Visit To Warehouse

 Here are some of the images from our first visit to the abandoned warehouse. The visit was very successful we cam out with a plethora of good sounds, since it is so open there is a very eerie feel to some of the recordings too, with slight echoes being picked up from any sense of movement. One thing we'll have to do on our next visit is take a contact mic, since there is a lot of areas that have large metal panels and furthermore there is plenty of different and strange surfaces around that could've created some really bizarre and obscure sounds.

However we just mainly used a Zoom recorder because that's what we were both most experienced with. It worked well for what we needed it for, we mainly took stereo recordings since we thought if we can integrate different things into different ears then ultimately it would make for a more immersive experience as you would feel like you are in one spot with things happening around you.

The location was perfect for the feeling we were trying to get across since just being in there it gave a great sense of unease and like this was not a place that had sense of reason to be there, due to it having been vandalised so much. As a result this will probably end up being a place to definitely consider shooting the visual part of the project as it almost epitomises the theme we're going with.

At our next location we need to get more long sounds, and long atmos tracks that will be able to run in the background of our piece so that there is always something going on in it. Here we got a lot of short sounds, such as bricks being thrown at things, cans being kicked, glass being thrown etc. But to make the track better I think we need more than what we just got here, for it to last three minutes well. Since the setting is so big we only had enough time to explore the main areas thoroughly but the sounds we got here I think get across the aura of the place well nonetheless.
