Mouth Sounds follows Ogenna Oraedu, a Boston University sophomore, as she attends practice with her acapella group on a rainy Sunday. Oraedu reflects on what music means to her.

Mouth Sounds was the final project for my Visual Storytelling class (COM JO 205), which I took in Spring 2023 with Pulitzer-winning photojournalist Greg Marinovich. The class is a degree requirement for Journalism majors at Boston University's College of Communication.

For the assignment, we were required to follow a subject and film them using different video and audio techniques we learned during the class. The class taught introductory skills for Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Lightroom as well as audio and video equipment like manual digital cameras and audio recorders.
