Sound Recording Experience

The experience for sound recording was hard at first when I thought about it. What sounds could I make? I thought about sounds that could be made through different objects and ourselves. Our group was split into two days to record sound and I was the only one who could help out for both days and help the group keep track of what was recorded on the first day and the second day. Making sounds was interesting and hard. Some things you record sound nothing like you expect at all, and some things sound exactly like you expect them to sound. At first it was difficult to record sound as we had found out that both the boom and our sound recording device was almost out of battery. We had to record sound using only our sound recording device instead of using a boom, which actually worked to our advantage because the areas we used to record sound would have not permitted us to have a big boom in the area and would have been too distracting. We also had a little trouble finding how many seconds we recorded sound on the sound recording device. I learned about open areas vs. closed areas of recording and what sounds the device can record and what it doesn't pick up.
