The Idea

We settled on the idea of creating a nostalgic seaside journey almost straight after the lecture on assessments, and arranged to have a group meet up on the 1st October. It was here that we decided on the nostalgia being the focus, as we all held pleasant memories of the seaside, and wanted to inject that feeling into the soundscape itself. Three distinct scenes formed, as a non-descript person walked from the beach up through the town, passing through a funfair, and then through a busy arcade, before coming to a stop by the pier. Throughout this we would add in sounds that we felt were typical of the seaside; donkeys, buckets and spades, seagulls, waves, etc. We created some lists of these sounds and from those a rough storyboard was produced.
