Initial Storyline

Once the Womb idead became solid we constructed a small storyline of what we want to include in the 3minutes.

This is the rough storyline of what we want to include;

1. Big introduction for a big reaction (the sounds of conception) leading into immediate character involvement in the form of…

2. The sperm race (narrated as though commentating a horse/sprint race) fast paced water / swimming sound effects with declaration of a winner being….

3. Character introduction for the listener with background effects of - (discovery of pregnancy, congratulations, morning sickness)

4. Continual narration and opinion through activities such as feeding / being fussed over / educated via music, exercise (going for a walk)

5. Sound of hospital visits, easing of movement by mother e.g. watching tv etc. which then sets into boredom of the baby resulting in impatience…

6. Kicking and complaining from the foetus’ inner voice causing the mother to believe the time is ready…

7. Waters bursting / rushing to hospitals / confusion of the baby’s character / the sounds of childbirth (screaming , encouragement etc.) and then to finish the piece, the birth and the end of internal voice narration from the baby, replaced with a cry in a now un-muffled outside world.

We wanted to make sure every second of the 3 minutes is filled with activity, via the atmospheric sounds, the narration, sound effects of a mixture of twos and the three between them. We will get on-board people to play the characters such as the mother, grandmother, friends etc. and we will also contribute largely as the voice of the foetus and other characters e.g. father.
