When sketching my animation out I was already thinking about what sound could go with each scene. For example for the burger scene I planned that with the head nod looking at the burger someone would say “ooooohhh yeah”.

I got feedback that adding sound to the animation would really add to the atmosphere of it and go well with the point of view aspect of it. Especially for the in a cage scene and the deforest scene adding sound to the visuals would really push the message of the effects of living unsustainably. Adding the animal noises to the cage scene made the scene make more sense when watching it and same with hearing a chainsaw in the deforest scene.

For the background music I chose a song that has an optimistic sound to it as I don’t want my animation to be a video that scares people and makes them feel hopeless about climate change. I want it to make people think about how they are living and inspire them to take the advice in the video and act towards living more sustainably.

I tried to make the audio match up well with the visuals for example when the words came on screen I made the audio appear at the same time, also when the the bottles disappeared I added a plastic bottle dropping sound at the same time.

I got my audio off the internet as when I tried to record my own my microphone wasn’t good enough to get clear audio.
