Audio Work: Soundscape Planning

 Hey everybody! I’m almost at the end of this planning and would like to include a detailed sound layout I would use along with the dialogue in my film opening. 

Got it! Since the surgery isn’t shown in the end, I’ll adjust the sound outline to focus on her internal struggle rather than a post-surgery reveal.


Hospital Room (Opening Scene) 00:00 – 00:10 
- Heart monitor beeping. This introduces the medical setting and Camila’s state.  
- Background chatter (quiet). Shows people are all around Camila. Slowly fades away to nothing. 

Transition to Bedroom 00:10 – 00:15
- Alarm clock ringing. Signals the shift from the hospital to Camila’s daily life (before the surgery)  

Camila’s Bedroom (morning) 00:15 – 1:00
- Bedsheets rustling. Adds realism as Camila moves in bed to get up. 
- Birds chirping. Indicates the early morning setting
- Click of glasses being picked up. Highlights Camila’s routine and dependence on her glasses as a part of her. 
- Footsteps on the floor. Adds movement to the room.
- Drawer opening and closing. Shows her selecting clothes, reflecting her tidy nature. 

Camila’s Bedroom (evening) 1:00 – 1:15
- Clock ticking softly. Creates a sense of time passing
- Pages turning in a book. Shows her academic focus and routine.
- Pen scribbling on paper. Represents note-taking 

Self-Image Reflection & Change (following morning) 01:15– 01:45
- Alarm ringing. Shows repetition of her previous morning but on another spectrum 
- Deep sigh. Camila’s internal struggle
- Subtle slow creak of the closet door. Highlights her hesitation before picking a new outfit
- Fabric rustling. Indicates her changing into different clothes.

Decision moment 01:45 – 01:55
- Zipping of a bag. Represents her being certain about her outfit of choice
- Quick sigh. Shows she's ready to begin the day
- Muffled family conversation in the background. Reflects a distant yet present family dynamic.

Final Scene 01:55 – 02:00
- Soft exhale. Suggests emotional change.
- Slow, melancholic or suspenseful music fade-in. Reflects uncertainty if she likes her new self. 
- Door closing. As she walks out the house (gives suspenseful ending)
