Week 7:
Sound Bible

WEEK 7 -

TO DO: CREATION OF SOUND BIBLE​

 

PURPOSE FOR SOUND BIBLE

We have now reached Week 7 (halfway through!) and we intend to focus the rest of our time on the development of Getaway. The last thing to 'design' is the Sound for our game. We have a distinct idea already for the sound design/direction for this project, but as we are working with a Sound Designer, it'll be important for us to give them as much detail as we can regarding what we expect from them and how we'd like it to work in the project. The purpose of the 'Sound Bible' is to outline exactly what is expected from our Sound Designer, including, how things should sound, what it will be used for and samples of existing music to use as reference or inspiration.

​

WHAT WILL I BE DOING?

During Semester 1, I did a lot of research into music psychology and composition to evoke specific emotions in listeners which I plan to use to my advantage and put towards a unique soundtrack for Getaway. I will begin by outlining the requirements for our sound design as it plays a huge part in the gameplay and has a major impact on the player. From this, I will provide samples of existing tracks/music to make the document a little clearer and to give him a bit of guidance with where to begin. It'll also be necessary for me to link my previous research pages which he can read through if at any point he feels lost or confused. As we don't have a lot of time, I am hoping to provide this to Harry within the next week.

GOALS FOR THE DAY​

Create a detailed Sound Bible for our Sound Designer, to be sent around Week 8.
