Audio Only Project Ideas

AUDIO ONLY PROJECT IDEAS

1.    Documentary audio style interviews:

·         Interviewing the public

- Their thoughts and concerns about their daily routine in a morning (realistic reactions and a larger range of information to use)

- Something embarrassing that has happened to them when getting ready in a morning (this would generate entertaining information but some people could not want to discuss embarrassing situations with a stranger)

- Something that has gone wrong in a morning (slightly less embarrassing and would generate an entertaining response)

·         Audio vox-pop style (Research vox-pops)

- Short responses ("quality not quantity" replies)

- A large number of responses

- A wide range of different people (kids, students, workers, OAPs)

2.    Based on one man's thoughts of his upcoming day (from waking up through the process of his routine in the morning getting ready)

- Possibly restricted to the amount of entertaining information to talk about and use in the script.

- The Actor will read a script which represents the characters' thoughts throughout their getting ready process.

Atmosphere Sound

·         Bedroom atmos' stereo sound

- Establish the awakening in the bedroom (this will then transition into the bathroom atmos' stereo sound when he walks into the bathroom).

·         (Possibly) Landing or Hallway atmos' (footsteps from the bedroom to the bathroom)

·         Bathroom atmos' stereo sound

- Principally to capture the tones of the room which will be used as base atmos' noise to add mono spot effect sounds.

Mono Spot Sounds

Mono sounds to set the location, time and place (bedroom, morning time):

- Wake up alarm (sets the time and place)

- Huff and puff (the man moaning and showing that waking up early for his daily routine is a negative)

- Duvet (Pulling of the duvet and getting out of bed)

- Footsteps walking (across the hall to the bathroom)

- Birds tweeting outside (sets morning scene)

Mono sounds showing the process of someone getting ready in a bathroom in a morning:

- Toothbrush (brushing teeth) - Electric or manual

- Toilet (flushing / lid going up or down)

- Tap running (cleaning face / brushing teeth)

- Electric Shaver (shaving face)

- Mouthwash (swishing around the mouth / gargling)

- Shower (noise of the water / feet slipping on the shower floor surface)

- Ripping Toilet Paper (blowing nose)
