Cinematic Intro: Narrative Sound Design & Storytelling
A short-film style intro blending "Squid Game" themes with a creative art challenge to maximze viewer retention.
Key Editing Highlights:
Immersive Soundscapes: I built a complex audio environment using layers of echo, industrial sound effects, and suspenseful music to establish an eerie, "trapped" atmosphere from the very first second [00:01].
Visual Suspense & Pacing: I utilized slow-build editing techniques, using silence and sudden audio cues to create a sense of mystery before the main "hook" of the video.
The Result: A high-retention "Hook" transitioning from a cinematic narrative into an engaging art challenge, keeping viewers curious about the technical outcome.
Software: Adobe Premiere Pro (Narrative Edit & Sound Layering), Adobe After Effects (Atmospheric Overlays).
