After we had finished the sound on the first section in the previous sections, we initially planned to move onto the final sound section in this session. However, when we sat down as a group and re listened to the sound we weren't as happy with it as we had been at the end of the last session. So we decided we would get audience feedback on the sound we had done so far.
We asked people within our target audience to listen to the sound at the beginning and give us some feedback and we would decide weather to keep the sound or change it depending on this feedback.
After reading the feedback it is clear to us that the effect we had aimed for with the sound wasn't portraying clearly enough. Most people seemed to know the female was dreaming but didn't like the fact the sound increased and decreased, was over the male sections and was of children laughing. Although we had purposely done all these things to make the audience feel disorientated, only one person who gave us feedback picked up on that. Therefore, as a group we decided to delete all the sound on the first section and start again.
Moving forwards we have decided that in the next session we will have to experiment with the sound and keep getting audience feedback. The fact the two narratives cut into each other makes it difficult to have a constant sound track. However, we all agreed that we still want to use the ambient sound track we did add on without blading it otherwise the clips would be completely silent which isn't professional. We are thinking of trying to incorporate some more subtle effects of children giggling in the beginning of the females sections. Them being subtle and one person giggling rather than a whole playground makes that sound effect shorter to fit in with the short clip and more subtle. We could also make these effects more prominent as the females clips progress to make the transition into the song more smooth.
