Influence Map - Fantastic Voyage

I am considering explaining the cell cycle from the perspective of a single cell's journey in the body.

Reflective Statement
This project presented new challenges to me in terms of technology. However I have been amazed at the fun and experimentation that this project has allowed. Many of the sounds I have used are normal everyday household sounds that you would normally ignore but combining them has enabled new sounds to be created. Having said that when I initially looked at the images I could not imagine how I could create associate sounds.

I focused on my immediate reaction when I looked at the picture and what the image made me think about.  The first one was 'water', the second one was 'scissors' and the third one was 'moss'.  After this I then considered the type of sound that the words conjured up in my mind and I created the word clouds.  Following this I searched for the sounds to match the words identified.

With hindsight, I don't know if this was the best method but it was one that helped me organise my thoughts and the direction I was going.

The simple sounds merged to make a calm, peaceful and gentle accompaniment to the image of water.  They produced a sharp, annoying, cutting sound for the scissor image and the moss was joined with a mysterious, slow and flat soundscape.

I loved this project and have understood the opportunities to change the perception of an image for the viewer by using and mixing sounds in adobe audition.
