Discussion for Email to Sponsors:
1. Decided to put the email request (introduction and purpose of the team) and details of the project + reason for need of funding in one email
- more details at the bottom of email
2. Rough idea of cost and equipment, no need to be in detailed
3. If need more funds will send email in the future again
4. One email to all sponsors but not send at the same time
Discussion for Story Line:
1. If sounds move, there will be a problem looping it
2. Movement can be seen two says:
- sound moves around speakers as listener stands in the middle of the room
- sound remains in speakers and as listener moves, it gets “closer” (louder)
3. Do something like a diamond, four speakers pointing to the middle of the room
- volume will eventually get louder than soft as listener moves in/out of center
4. Established that Main room will concentrate moving sounds where listeners will stand in the middle
5. Other rooms, 1, 2, 3 and 4 will focus on people moving
6. All rooms will take into consideration the distance and space from the Main room
- audience will feel like they are moving closer towards the Main room scene
7. To create distance in recordings we can play around with Impulse response, volume of audio and also the distance we actually record the sounds
