In our project, you can hear a taxi pull up and drop off a passenger in the city. The woman walks to a line of people, where she gets her id checked by a bouncer. She then walks into a nightclub. However, soon after, the police come crashing in, causing the party to stop.

We started out by trying to think of a situation that was both interesting and easy to convey through just sounds. We thought both taking a taxi in the city and going to the nightclub would be interesting to portray, so we combined those two ideas. We then thought the police coming in at the end would be a shocking and unexpected way to end it. We thought having just silence in the very end after all the loud noise would add an interesting juxtaposition to the project.
We started out by figuring out which sounds we should record folly for. We decided the footsteps of the heels should be done with Foley as it would allow us to control the pacing of the entire soundscape. It also allowed us to record the same heels on different surfaces. We also decided to record the velvet rope clip and the wallet with cash with Foley as we wanted to get a very specific sound. When editing the project, we started with the base sounds of the soundscape. This included just the sound of the car and the city background. Then we added the sounds of actions, such as the high heels walking, the audio for the dialogue, the wallet unzipping, the velvet rope at the bouncer, and the police bursting in. After that, we added details such as people walking by and chattering, glasses clinking and being filled, cheering at the party, and glass breaking when the police show up. Finally, the music in the club scene was added after the quieter sounds were already mixed.
