Haven’t been able to much of recording other than few regarding birds and sea shore. Though I am not sure how to use the sea shore recording I got from Beachy Head, Brighton, It has turned out well. I did use the method of multiple direction and distances from the waves to get a good wholesome mix later while I am mixing them together.
I read in a book (can’t remember which one) that I should record them at different altitude to give it better specialising. I tried this method by recording them from the stair and on the ground level on the beach. This was later mixed, some of them turned out well but had to delete few of them due to the sound of wind.

For rest of the rest of the samples of cooking were made of which some of them can be used according to the story line I come up with. Most of the sounds recorded were of chopping by using a wooden cutting board and a cucumber with a knife. I did try the sound of frying an egg but did not have as much clarity as thought it might. better option would be to prepare bacons on a pan to get much more louder crackling of the boiling oil. If its not possible I might resort to the track I found on Soundly.
Storyline:
Towards the end the storyline I though with was perfect to showcase the movement of sound in a room is through a pair of parents who enter the kitchen at different times and the toddler/ baby along with one of them. Soon after the entrance of the first parent they start cooking which is represented by movement of pans and utensils which are apt for a breakfast chaos.
This chaos included sounds of a laptop to show the working life of the parents. the base layer to create the atmosphere for a cozy morning, can be done with adding wind chimes chiming and birds chirping in the distance.
Not sure how to bring a windy morning into the space but would like to try wind hitting the window or the tree branches brushing on the window. these movements can be an each scenario, as an example trees can be a violent element if the scene is raining (camping). This can be useful to showcase my skills in making the same sound different in different scenarios.
