Week 6: Homecoming – Sebastian Lau (Chen)

I really liked the sound design throughout the podcast, particularly the intro music. To me, it sounded kind of eerie and somber, which I guess is fitting as it’s a thriller. I could almost visualize what it might look like in my head due to the way the audio was recorded, it almost sounded like those interrogation rooms or a very plain office. I think they played with sound quality very well too. I could easily tell when they were calling as it sounded a bit worse or off. I also enjoyed the little comments when they were calling which added depth to the characters instead of just having them talk about the main conflict all the time. There was also the ambiance which was fitting and in my opinion, was integrated seamlessly. It also came to the forefront when the bird was chirping and their attention shifted towards it. I liked how they used that sound almost as a transition from one subject to the next.
