Experimenting with sounds

Before we begin our minute long projects we've been encouraged to collect as many sounds as possible and consider how they could be manipulated and used to accompany a visual soundtrack. In our lesson we watched the opening scenes from Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Conversation'

and a scene from blade runner and dissected them to understand the difference between diegetic sounds, non diegetic sounds,atmospheric tracks and spot sounds. (Notes in sketchbook).

 We picked up on the futuristic sounds featured in both films so Andrew showed us how to manipulate a recording of someone tapping a pen on a table in 'audition' to sound like the futuristic sounds that we hear in the opening scene of 'The Conversation'. We were shown how to use the equaliser and how to reduce the bass and treble depending on the effect we're trying to achieve. In this instance he reduced the bass and showed us a number a preset effects you can import into audition and use. For this clip he opened up the phaser/flanger tab in the equaliser and inserted the swirler effect.

We are going to learn about mastering next time so prepare I have been reading a couple of articles and watching some video tutorials about Adobe Audition .

I have also uploaded all of the sounds that I have been recording before I finalise which project I will be doing only google drive.

Introduction to photography +;lighting workshop

Image
We began photography by being sent off to the library to find three images that we invoked a memory in us. This was to help us begin to understand the process of research and how it was important to go looking for inspiration. After we had found the images we then had to present them to the whole class and explain what significant they had for us. I photocopied the cover the 'Polar Express' DVD, a pictures of some brownies from a cookbook and a picture of a book shelf. I have written an explanation for why I chose each of these pictures in my sketchbook.   After a brief introduction from Othello and Alys about their recent projects we were given a general overview on how to use the settings on our cameras before being sent out to try and take some photos. This was particularly useful for me as unlike the majority of my peers I don't know much about photography.  With practice I should hopefully get the hang of understanding how these settings work and how I can use th

How my creative process informed my Final Outcome My final outcome is a 4 minute sitcom style pilot for what could be continued on as a mini web series. When we wrote out proposals I had initially started with the intention of making a series; however I didn't want to be married to my original idea so I experimented with different storytelling styles such as a short film, and different types of series. I was very keen on making something that focussed on putting class differences aside and of all my ideas the two I had that complied with this the best were A short film idea called 'This or That' that follows two characters who list differences in their upbringing as they grew up but the visuals show them doing communal things such as sharing food etc so they are gradually coming together and by the final scene they have found common ground. A sitcom style film that is based around the same characters. I decided I wanted to go for the sitcom approach because I wan
