Ten Minutes out now!
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for following and spending your time and efforts on this project. I'm so happy to showcase the final project to you all!
Get out your headphones and give it a listen :)
A young woman is on her way home after a party. It's late and she's walking by herself. However the journey only takes ten minutes, so what could go wrong? It's not until after a few minutes that she realises she's being followed...
An audio thriller based on very real experiences that too many young women have gone through. Even by brainstorming with other women I've found that we share so many different things that have become "normal" to us. Things like using our keys between our knuckles, carrying hairspray or deodorant in our bag, avoiding dimly lit streets or always having our location shared with someone. Yet still somehow it's our fault when we get intimidated, followed or harassed. I want to shed light on these experiences while also creating a first person walk-through of what it is like to be a woman walking home late at night, using binaural panning to create an immersive environment.
