Through this project, my understanding of sound as a medium has become clearer. Sound is not only a functional or supporting element, but can also play a deeper role in building narrative structure and influencing how the audience perceives time, space, and emotion.
During the process, I realised that sound design is not just a series of individual creative decisions, but more like a way of structural thinking. It requires me to constantly consider not only what a sound is, but also how it affects perception, including the sense of time, spatial distance, and emotional closeness. Because of this, my working method gradually shifted from designing single sound elements to thinking about the relationships between sounds as a whole system.
The interdisciplinary collaboration also had a clear impact on my creative process. Feedback from the visual development constantly challenged my assumptions about rhythm and expression, and made me rethink how sound should function within a visual context. This ongoing exchange helped me understand that sound design in interdisciplinary work is not a fixed process, but something that is continuously shaped through negotiation and adjustment.
In addition, I became more aware of the importance of balancing conceptual ideas with clarity of communication. While experimental sound work can develop strong concepts, it still needs to remain understandable within a shared narrative framework. Therefore, finding a balance between abstraction and realism became an important part of my learning in this project.
Overall, this project strengthened my understanding of sound as a narrative tool. It also changed the way I see my own practice, from focusing on individual sound design to thinking about sound as part of a larger perceptual system that builds narrative meaning.
