Based on the production of videos that are more ‘abstract’, the sound design plays a supporting and enhancing role in the video content.
1. In some clips of graphic changes, the sound is distorted and shifted to reflect a sense of kneading. It is used in the childhood, death and old age stages.
2. superimposed on similar, identical sound elements to give a more layered and spatial feel to the sound (e.g. the car tracks in the death phase)
3. adding transitions to important text occurrences for emphasis
4. overlay important points with multiple sound elements, e.g. at the end of the death phase, use two explosions, glass breaking and low frequencies to create a powerful sense of explosion and enhance the end effect.
5.Ambient sounds are used to create atmosphere. For example, use the sound of rain to accentuate a quiet, melancholic atmosphere (as in the childhood phase). Or
the sound of burning flames to create a sense of domestic warmth, with the sound of burning flames made by kneading plastic paper to foley the sound. Or the sound of running water from a clear spring combined with the chirping
of birds in a natural forest to create a natural, happy atmosphere. (Family stage)
Before each choice in each scene, there is a voiceover.
For example, in childhood scenes, the voiceover is a child describing the problem.The voiceover is added to help the experiencer come up with some inspiration when facing difficult choices, and to tell them to perceive the smell in the environment. Since each scene represents a different age group, different VST plugins were used to process the sound during sound design, adjusting the EQ, pitch, and setting different sound layers to achieve the desired effect.To make the sound more interesting, different tones were used, such as whispering, to create a more immersive experience for the experiencer. In addition, some delays were also set to make the sound appear unexpectedly.
