Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1- Wednesday April 10, around 7:30pm (or whenever it began to downpour), intramural fields

2- Girls screaming and shouting to each other, scrambling to the cars; another car drives by humming through the rain

Identify the location of the clip – This recording was taken as I was walking from the student center to my room during the torrential downpour

Identify the sounds heard in the clip – This clip starts out with me holding my phone up in the wire frame of my umbrella in the middle of a torrential spring downpour. Shortly after the clip begins one can hear the sound of a very loud and deep thunder clap across the campus as I walked into the unispann. From here you can hear a bunch of voices murmuring of all the people that are waiting out the storm. Their voices have a small echo to them and fill the space as I walk through it. From here you can hear me shake out my umbrella of all the excess water and begin to walk across the unispann. The rest of the clip is of me walking across the unispann and passing different groups of people as they discover the storm outside.
