A description of my sound story is that it shows how someone feels and their environment when taking a test. 

The editing software I used was capcut, using this software was a very easy experience. The app helps you layer the sounds and move them easily. The way I got the sound of the door was with Capcut. In Capcut, there is a button in which u can insert a sound effect. In there, I searched up on the app "door opening sound effect" and added it to the beginning of my video. Then, to record the footsteps, I used my shoes. I had one on each hand, and stomped them onto the floor repeatedly at a pace that one walks at. To get the sound of a crowd of students footsteps, I then layered it on capcut. I duplicated it on capcut, then moved the audio to be under each other, so the sound could be simultaneous. At first, when the sounds were originally layered, the sound was too loud. So I lowered the volume from 100 to 80 on some of them and got the sound I wanted. Then for the murmurs, I recorded my friends in class talking. With the sound of them murmuring plus the background talking of other classmates in my class, I could get the sound of crowd murmurs. I layered the crowd sounds and lowered the volume. Then, for the bell ringing, I also used the sound from Capcut. I searched up on capcut "Bell ringing sound" and added it to the video. I also made the sound of the bell fade out. For the teachers footsteps, I used the same sound as the crowd footsteps, except I did not layer it. In doing so, the sound of the footsteps is clear. For the papers shuffling, I used paper towels as seen on the video. I dragged the paper towels onto each other to get the paper noise.  For the "time starts now" and "times up" I used my own voice, and said the quotes. For the pencil scratching, I used the crayon as seen in the video. I layered that sound with the papers shuffling to get the sound. For the heavy breathing, I just breathed right into the phone. I then duplicated it around 5 times to fill the time.

Overall, editing this was pretty easy, but very stressful. I enjoyed doing this project!
