The adjectives related with the sound:
- Noisy 
- Fast 
- Digital
- Constant
- Heavy
- Robotic

Class Experiment I

- Rationale:  Visualise a sound through lines
- Method: Firstly, I draw in a paper how I see the sound (two times lookind, other two covering my eyes).
I Used after effects to explore lines with an specific sound
- Result: I closed my eyes for the hand drawing to see if I could picture this sound other way, but this is the best way I could think about.
It took me a long time to make this simple excercise because at the beggining I wanted to do something that looks more hand made, but maybe it's because I'm just learning to use after effects but I couldn't  find how to do it this way. I used fat lines because I wanted them to look a little bit heavy.

Class Experiment II

- Rationale:  Visualise a sound through shapes
- Method: I used after effects
- Result: When I staryed doing this experiment, I though already what I was going to do, so this time I didn't draw on the paper, although when I started, I realized that it was getting very similar as the first one, so I just starting creating shapes and move them

Class Experiment III

- Rationale:  Visualise a sound mixing lines and shapes
- Method: Firstly, I draw in a paper how I see the sound (two times lookind, other two covering my eyes).
I Used after effects to explore lines with an specific sound
- Result: I closed my eyes for the hand drawing to see if I could picture this sound other way, but this is the best way I could think about.

 REFLECTION

I found interesting the theme of the activity about mixing image and sound. Because my background is more with static images, I don't have much experience with movement and definitely not with sound (This was actually my bigest problem in Studio 1). I can see how important can be the sound in a animation; it can give a lor of value but if it's wrong, it takes a lot!
So this is why I enjoyed this practice. Although I didn't enjoy doing this the experiments because I am very stress with all the assigments for the next weeks, so playing with shapes, lines and sound make me feel a little bit frustrated.

The sound it's really important in a lo of projects, but this time it won't influence much for my project due to I'm focusing on the movement of the plants growing, so I might add some sound effects to give some atmosphere, but is not the main goal. Been new in animation makes me feel that I need to give more time of the movement than in the sound.

Movement look more real and playful when we add sound, it makes you "feel" more what's happening in what you are seeing, but it's important to choose very careful the best sound for the movement.
