Jake Norris Written Critiques
Name: Mike Munoz
Went Well: I like the atmosphere, transitions between sounds were smooth and clear. Effects were subtle and not too in your face.
Improvements: Maybe include a few more effects, I could hear a few but most sounds sounded somewhat normal.
Interpretation: It sounds like a day in the life of a business man or someone taking classes. (note scribbling, baby sounds, walking outside or snack eating, typing,) but the end was somewhat confusing, maybe a storm or a bad dream?
Name: Rob Armstrong
Went Well: I like the scary noises, the bell ringing, and the strange eerie sounds, feels like an intro to a horror movie.
Improvements: Maybe use some voice recordings to slam it home!
Interpretation: Sounds like a psychedelic trip (bong bubbling at the beginning) Someone smokes something and all the sudden it's a strange weird trip. Maybe it's an author who writes under the influence? Hear note scribbling and typing.
Name: Alki Petrides
Went Well: Echoes and strange eerie sounds are on point! Love them cohesiveness of the sounds, actually sounds like music too which is awesome.
Improvements: Maybe add a little more variety to how the song transitions. It sounds like your building off each sound but it doesnt change very much so it makes me wonder what your theme is.
Interpretation: I’m thinking something spacey and creepy like a bad dream, bad trip, or a scary hospital. Gives me twilight zone type vibes.
Name: Jeremy

Went Well: The scene is well set up, a mother calming a baby, working, preparing food, kids tv shows in the background, it's very clear.

Name: Hannah Morris
Went Well: I like that your transitions were smooth and clean.
Improvements: Maybe add a little more variety to the sounds and effects but other than that it's fascinating.
