This unit was far more challenging than the previous conceptual unit since it required extensive planning and a more diverse skillset.

In videos and movies, without any audio, many struggle to convey emotions; many people make careers out of knowing how to edit sound. This project opened my eyes to remind myself that you can always do more with sound, and there&#8217;s more purpose to it than just music. For this project, I think I should&#8217;ve slowed down the way I spoke and taken more time to properly annunciate my words. At times while editing the narration for it to intro and outro softly, it was hard to work around because I was talking so fast. I think I would record paragraph by paragraph next time instead of one go and take a moment to think about the emotion of the paragraph I was about to read. However, I&#8217;m most proud of the SFXs I put in. It was my favorite part of the project as it inspired me to think creatively and get that feeling that the story was really coming together. I liked the ideas I would come up with and thinking of work arounds, such as if I couldn&#8217;t find an audio of heel clicking, maybe I should substitute it with panting to signify my character is moving<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center banner musicbanner\">Music<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0e47273b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspiration for my music was to just have fun. I\u2019m a novice when it comes to music so I like clicking random beats and making melodies from mistakes piqued my interest. However a lot of the music in my inspiration probably came from how I listened to a lot of house music and hip hop at the time. However I got bored of a consistent beat so the last 2 sections I wanted a church vibe, so I included organs and the piano.\u00a0I\u2019m proud of my first 3 sections and how while they were different they cohesively blended from one to the other. I actually really enjoyed listening to the first half of my interstitial, it sounds like something I could take inspiration from later. It\u2019s not as hard as I thought it would be, and it encourages me to play around more with virtual instruments. I don\u2019t have to be a pro at everything to make music, I can slow down the beats per minute or speed up to my liking and even draw in the notes. It opens a whole new world for music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Experimental Music By EstelleK (2024) by Freestyle Academy\" width=\"950\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F2003310991&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=950\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center banner illustratorbanner\">Illustrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this illustrator project, I knew I could go all out and try and make an impressive lamp, or candle shade, however since I\u2019m still a novice I wanted to create something reliable. Looking back I wanted to make something I\u2019d use frequently and was just cute, nothing to show off. When reflecting on my day-to-day life, what I deem as cute is my dog Phoebe since she encapsulates a chapter of my teens. So I knew I would want to include her in my design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was re-doing the design I wanted lots of color, so I explored many different textured brushes to create a fun retro ambience of minimal furniture. I made it very intentional to explore brighter crazier colors so my dog would pop out since she\u2019s only black and white. I used a circle to make the rug and created a gradient on it for extra fun texture in my layering to continue to make my dog a focal point.Now that the project is done, I\u2019m thankful I cared enough to redo the design since I think my old one was too easy. I think the mug is small and cute, and something I\u2019ll happily have on my desk to hold my pens and pencils. I\u2019m looking forward to making harder, more detailed objects like a chandelier in the future. It&#8217;s really fun to know I can create a 3D object from a screen. I really appreciate the creative freedom that illustrators have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0e47273b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kershaw_Estelle-Mug-Art@4x-1024x387.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276\" style=\"width:590px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kershaw_Estelle-Mug-Art@4x-1024x387.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kershaw_Estelle-Mug-Art@4x-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Kershaw_Estelle-Mug-Art@4x.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lower-angle-mug-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277\" style=\"width:529px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lower-angle-mug-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lower-angle-mug-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lower-angle-mug.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;.and I also did a fun exquisite corpse project where I designed the head of a body where I didn&#8217;t know what it would look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-04-at-12.10.56\u202fAM-1024x259.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-04-at-12.10.56\u202fAM-1024x259.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-04-at-12.10.56\u202fAM-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-04-at-12.10.56\u202fAM.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center banner filmbanner\">Film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2d5b96e5 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747347189472-86c13916-3c36-44d3-b99f-5acbd8133c9d_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747347189472-86c13916-3c36-44d3-b99f-5acbd8133c9d_1.jpg 912w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EstelleK\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747347189472-86c13916-3c36-44d3-b99f-5acbd8133c9d_1-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p2 Chase Scene EstelleK\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JM5cNfHC3gY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
