SFX+Story

===**Sound Effects Story -** Using Audacity, the sound effects folder that I have provided you with (300 SFX), files from [|"Sound Bible"], and any sound effects you may want to download from [|YouTube]; create any story that has a start, middle, and finish that can be told through sounds. There will be no words spoken in this audio piece, the challenge is to tell a story only using sounds. It may be tough to do this but this is your opportunity to be creative and think outside of the box.===

Check out the video below to find out a few key basics in Audacity that you will need to know in order to create this project. The steps that you will go through are just to get you familiar with the program. Once you are done following along, you do not need to continue to work on the sample file that includes the gunshots and motorcycle. You will open up a new Audacity and begin your Sound Effects Story once you are done following along.

 * Here is the criteria that you will need to follow to ensure a quality piece:**
 * Example: A person wakes up in the morning, shower, breakfast, leaves the house, drives a car/motorbike, in traffic, gets to work (work sounds), leaves to drive home, enters house, then...... your choice!, a police chase, a day on the farm, a boxing match, etc.
 * This will be 1:30 in length. Each sound effect clip that you use should be no longer than 7 to 10 seconds each. Do not have long clips...the faster moving it is, the easier it is to listen to and focus. Be sure to save this file often as the computers do crash at times.
 * Be as creative with this assignment as you can. I look forward to hearing all of your different ideas and concepts that you create. :).
