Sketchy Sound Design

 As I draw closer and closer to the end of post-production, I've just now realized I'm missing 2 pretty important sound effects, the guttural scream of the husband that Bob hears from the bathroom, and the sound of Bob throwing the teacher's phone after hanging up on his wife, so today I'll be taking care of these 2 sound effects.

I ultimately decided Ale must be the one to take care of the scream after searching YouTube and PixaBay for screams that fit, so I sent him a text, and he sent me the sound. I had originally envisioned it being a sort of terrified guttural scream, but Ale debated saying it wouldn't make sense as someone wouldn't scream if they were to trip and fall, it would be more like a "woahhhhhh", and so that's what he did. I also added on top of it the sound of a "body thud", which I did find online, but I opted not to add a slip because I figured it would sound too comical.



Additionally, for the sound of Bob throwing the phone, after some toying around with simple object clattering sounds like this:
I ultimately decided that they didn't have enough gravity and thought not only would it be more comical, but also add a whole other beat to add on top of the awful night Bob was already having ifhe threw the phone too hard and it shattered, so I elected to layer the sound of plastic clattering with glass shattering to create this sound:

With these 2 sound effects done, that essentially marks the end of my sound design process and all I have left to do are last minute tweaks and revisions. The end is nigh
