The Eye of the Hurricane

A day in the life of Runa as she finishes another mission with her rebellion.

This post was interesting and fun because it was inspired by two people so I combined the ideas together. The first was the Sound Effects Story where the directions said to tell a story without words and the second inspiration was Elizabeth Byrd who gave the instructions to hum a song stuck in your head for her assignment called Humming Away. For mine I edited audio using Audacity and I added a twist to mine by making my character Runa hum a song that she is listening to in her headphones while she is walking through a battle completely unbothered. The humming is upbeat but there is still a slight tone of sadness showing that she is aware of the violence happening around her. The humming audio is from TikTok, and for added sound effects I used angry mob yelling, boot steps on sidewalk, gun shots and also laser gun sounds because in a futuristic city I am sure they would also have futuristic guns. To portray movement I used the boot step sounds and also stopped the gun shots sound effects midway of the audio as a way to show that she passed them and when she makes it to the end she stops humming before she leaves to signify that she doesn’t need to drown out the noise anymore. Also the title of my post is called The Eye of the Hurricane because Runa is calmly walking and humming along while fighting is happening around her, and the eye of a hurricane is known as the moment of calmness during the storm.
