Ideas

We roughly considered a number of ideas and then settled on one.

- A persons idea of paradise, all the sounds that would surround that person. For example one persons paradise could have been a meadow and all the sounds that surround it.

- A Zoo, it would have been interesting to do a tour as if the person was visually impaired to make the  audience realise how space appears to someone who can only imagine space and hear images.

 - A short story about a social problem

Our Idea
In the end we decided on the idea of "a day in the life of"
It will be a reflection of a person and the way in which they spend their day. In order to develop this idea I got ready one morning and Mari-Anne listened to all the sounds that occurred whilst i got reaady. After doing this we discovered that we were just going to do the morning sounds and the bubble of space that surrounded the character in a morning as it is an exciting part fo the day and could represent fresh life and positive vibes.

CMP Audio Project

For this project Mari-Anne and I decided to make our 3 minute audio file expressing a Sense Of Space, about a morning in the life of average inidivual. It will contain all the sounds that you would hear whilst getting ready in a morning. We hope to connect with the audience on a personal basis as each sound could be stereotypical of a persons early morning routine.
