Shadow Dweller

Ever since starting the protools sound design project I have conceived an idea for a sound project with an unsettling atmospheric quality.

The narrative centres on someone asleep, he's having a nightmare, entering a deep dark void discovering horrific beast which embody his personal Demons, representations to his dark demented persona.

Horrified wakes up terrified, covered in sweat. He goes to wash his face by the sink but as he turns on the light and looks in the mirror he see that his reflection has been replaced by that of the Monsters he's seen in his nightmare.

The sound mix in protools consists of audios samples that I've selected and through reverb and time tweaking I arranged to create unnatural scary sounds, the kind that would be heard in horror films.

2ND YR DFSA Sound Design Protools

Tis the beginning of Year 2 in "DFSA" Digital Film and Screen Arts. Our Lessons so far have consisted of tutorials of Protools sound design given to us by Harry.

I've listed notes and instructions for setting up a protools sound project. In the brief we've been tasked to create 2 sound samples, one with just the soundscape and the other with the narration attached.

The sound samples must have a duration “last up to” 30 seconds to a minute in length.

I can decrease the level of volume with Compressor,.

The gate can get rid of background noise.
