First Recording Sessions

Many of the basic atmospheric sounds were recorded by my parter, as his main role in the project was to be the sound recordist. Though we completed some of the more detailed sounds together as a group. We wanted to find a place which provided as little background noise as possible for when we recorded our mono tracks, we decided on booking out a meeting space at the library, which proved to be a good place to capture the sound we needed with as little disruption as possible. 

When recording the sounds of the book pages, we were rather specific with the type of sound we wanted to get, which actually came down to the type of paper we used. We tried with a few different books, and decided on the extra thin paper normally used in older story books, this produced the clean and crisp sound that we desired. 

We also recorded some dialogue, not included in our initial plan, to potentially use within our sound piece. We soon realised we needed to included more and more sounds to create the depth of sound desired for our piece, something we intend to tackle in future sessions.
