What’s up blog, Sam here. A lot of people do not realize how much audio affects a scene, but it can completely change the mood. Since our project leans into mystery and tension, we want the sound to feel real, and emotional.
How We’re Using Sound
The film starts with Maverick watching the podcast where Dr. Mueller is about to reveal the big news. The audio here is going to sound like it is coming from an actual device in the room, not like a clean studio recording. That helps the audience feel like they are in Maverick’s pov. Once the film transitions into the real show, the sound becomes clearer and more professional to show the shift. We are also adding a short clapping sound when the host introduces the show. It makes the broadcast feel real, having a real audience. When Dr. Mueller reveals the truth about the medicine; everything cuts to silence for a second or two. Silence is uncomfortable on purpose, and it makes the moment hit harder.
Character Reactions and Tension
After the silence, we cut back to Maverick. His breathing, his voice and the way he talks to himself are meant to feel personal, like the audience is inside his head. Then we cut back to the show one last time with intense breaking news style music. It comes in fast and loud to show how crazy the situation is. when the show reveals that Dr. Mueller is suddenly gone, the sound helps make the moment even darker and shocking.
Foley and Original Sounds
For the typing scene, we are not downloading a sound effect. We are recording it ourselves. Foley is when filmmakers create their own sound effects using real objects because you can really get what you want. and it makes everything feel more natural. Even something simple like typing sounds better when it is recorded in the actual space. Doing our own Foley also makes the project more fun and gives us more control.

reflection
Overall, this is a good blueprint about what we are going to be doing with the sound, and thanks for stopping by.
