Description of Project:
- With a partner, plan and create a story that is depicted only by the use of sounds. Using digital sounds found online, along with foley sounds that were created and recorded by the group members. The story must be 1-2 minutes with a maximum word count of seven. A minimum of 4 foley sounds are to be used and a picture must be taken of the process.

Approach of the development:
- When reading the instructions, I immediately thought about the sounds that I hear most each and every day. Given that I play a ton of basketball and have practice every day, I knew I wanted to do something involved with basketball. My partner came up with the idea of an athlete breaking their bone, which we could create with foley, by breaking pasta in half. With every day sounds and foley in mind, we began planning with the story of a basketball player breaking a bone while playing.
- Moving on, we knew our foley sounds would be the distinct squeaking of basketball sneakers on a court, which I recreated using basketball sneakers on tile floor in the school hallway, along with the sound of the ball passing from player to player. We decided to include a walk into the gym to create a differentiation in scenes, as well as to create a wider variety of sounds. My partner gathered footsteps from outside and we created our opening scene where the person gets out of the car and walks into the gym.
- Using the sounds we collected online, the following scenes were fairly easy to put into place. My partner created a setting bag down sound using foley, and I created more footsteps using basketball sneakers. We layered the sounds in a way so that they flowed well together and left no missing components that most people do not realize in the real world, such as white noise. Considering we knew what we wanted with the end of our scene right from the beginning of our planning, it was fairly simple to out together and create a final product.
