Listening Assignment

I went to Cate Center where they serve different types of food. During this exercise I realized that there are so many different sounds. It was interesting that when I closed my eyes I noticed sounds that I usually wouldn’t notice. They were clear and very precise sounds.  Whenever I heard a sound that I didn’t recognize I would look to see what it was, and realized that I can make cool shots with the visuals that produced the sound.

I was surprised that I was able to pick up on the tiny squeak of the door opening. The utensil’s dispenser, people chewing ice, cups and plates being slammed onto the table, ratting  of books and paper in backpacks , rattling of packaged food, keys jingling, dishes falling, and even the food being tossed into the trash can amazed me. It was cool to know that I was able to hear all of those sounds.

When I looked around to see what certain sounds were I saw the door being opened, the jaw of someone moving as they chewed ice, people drinking their drinks and then putting their cups down. Then I saw people about to sit down with their food as they slammed their plates on the table. There was someone opening a pack of pop tarts, which caused the rattling sound. The employees that worked in that back at the girl were reaching over to grab different cooking utensils as they put the ones that they didn’t need any more down.
