Sound Journal # 10 – Production Meeting
Posted on by

1. Lowe conference room, Thursday, April 10th, 11:15 pm.

2. Sounds furthest from me: I can hear the muffled sound people walking around in the studio next door, another late night of work.

3. Sounds at a medium range from me: Beja, Shawn and Max speak softly to each other during the meeting, discussing their own matters regarding set and lighting for Masquerade’s production of BARE. I can also hear Max typing across the room. Joanna is taping her foot against the table in a soft, rhythmic, relaxing way.

4. Sounds closest to me: Ariel, heard in my field recording, sits beside me and speaks across the table to Meagan and Geena about glow necklaces as a costume/prop for a particular scene. Jack, also next to me, types on his computer, and Marina also interjects on the conversation about costumes. Every so often, when we lean on our side of the table, it makes a slight creaking noise. The air blows from the vent above our heads.

5. The level of sound activity and general sound level: Although Ariel and Marina speak loudly, the sound activity is pretty low. However, it does feel layered with the added undertones of Beja, Max and Shawn’s low voices.

6. Word to describe sound environment: Layered.

7. Three sounds that complete sound environment:
— The boys speaking softly across the room.
— Ariel and Marina speaking somewhat loudly.
— Jack typing beside me.
