For this assignment, I created a short story told entirely through sound effects with no dialogue. The goal was to build a clear narrative in under 90 seconds using only audio.
The story follows a person walking home at night who drops their keys and becomes anxious while searching for them. After a moment of panic, they finally find the keys and safely get inside.
I used wind and footsteps to set the scene, followed by key jingling and a metal drop sound to show the keys falling. The middle of the story includes rustling sounds and faster footsteps to show searching, along with a heartbeat sound to show rising panic. In the end, the keys are found, and the story closes with a door unlocking and opening, followed by fading wind.
