REFLECTION

It's an interesting process. During the sound-shaping exercise, I realized that sound can be shaped differently depending on the environment. I learned a few tricks during my voice shaping exercises. Last but not least, the four sound design techniques, time-stretching/compressing, pitch shifting, inversion and layering are important in filmmaking as it makes the film feel more real.
