The feedback I got originally allowed me to go and experiment some more. I decided I wanted the plot of the sound to be that a man is on a walk, sees the red horn and runs towards it. He stops, breathes heavily due to the distance he had run and then steps inside. In addition to this, after the man stops breathing heavily we then go to a different pair or footsteps, of a woman walking. She too does the same and stops and breathes when she arrives at the top. They both decide to walk into the object together, producing an loud echoey footstep sound.
The editing process itself took quite a while because in each recording of the footsteps and running, the level of the sounds of the nature would change from loud to quiet, so I had to mix the sounds of nature in evenly so it didn't dip at different points. In addition to this I had trouble with reducing the amount of wind, however from the lesson's we had with Joe, I used the Parametric Equaliser tool and reduced the lower frequencies, which seemed to do the trick.
To evaluate I feel pleased with the sound that I produced, and through Joe's useful lessons on sound and editing, I was able to produce a piece that I feel is experimental. If I was to do the project again I would give allow myself more time to collect a bigger variation of sounds and I would definitely record a few more takes of the running up the hill due to the wind being such a difficult feature of my sound to remove. I also feel as if I have learnt a lot about the importance of sound and I have improved drastically when it comes to using microphones and the techniques that can be used.
