Feedbacks
Feedback 1
There wasn't much feedback at that time due to the mixdown being short and less definitive. Just have to mindful of using only online sourced sounds and no self recordings.
Feedback 2
The overall audio was fine, the pace wasn't going too fast, some refinements are needed for the alarm sound in the beginning. The phone alarm sounded so high fidelity which sounded like a theme song for advertisement where every sounds is exaggerated to make it more cinematic.
Auditory Imaging Script
Reflection
In this task, I learnt how to make a mixdown with only using the sounds available online. Every sound track has their own frequency and volume, so I had to put in effort to balance and adjust them to achieve the desired overall sound. Even though not every sound can be immediately recognized, combining them in a way that matches what the public is familiar with, along with a clear audio script, helps the piece make more sense to listeners.
