Limestone 3 Sounds

 

The first sound that I appreciated and really stood out to me was at time 2:50 when on the of the voices said, “Everybody’s just gone.” The way that the word “gone” was edited to that it faded out in a suspenseful and kind of creepy way. The video said that all 327 people from Limetown were gone and that no one knew where they went. The word “gone” faded out for a whole 2 seconds to add to the suspense and eeriness of the situation. Also the person who said, “Everybody’s just gone,” was a police officer, thus the fact that even the official authorities were puzzled and a little scared, adds to the effectiveness of the audio the editor used.

 

The second sound that I noticed was at time 3:47 to 5:08 when there was a ringing in the background as Lia Haddick introduced herself as the story was transitioning between scenes. I noticed the audio because it did two things for me. First, its fast paced tone made me think that this investigator Lia Haddick was the perfect investigator for this case because she seemed serious and intense, like the ringing was. The story said that people seemed to forget about what happened at Limestone, but it was evident that she had not. It also had some eeriness to it which added to the effect that something creepy had happened in Limestone and it added to the suspense in my opinion.

 

The third sound that caught my ear was at time 8:33 to 9:22 when they read the public speech of the man who funded the construction of Limetown and how he wanted it to be a research community. The humming has an innocent tone that make the viewer think that the original intention of Limetown was good, however bad things could happen if the experiment went wrong. Also during this segment with the humming, the investigator mentioned that her uncle worked in Limetown and it shows that she is motivated to find out what happened there.
