Screen shots

It's difficult with digital media to show a fair representation of how much you learn and work on things. Here I have included for screenshots so that you can see some of my progress and how much work is involved.

 Video I showed from the exhibiton

From video I showed on crit week

Further working on same video but cleaned up sound a lot

From 'Extrteme' clip, here can really see the use of 4 main parts of sound which I learnt at the Simon Cumins workshop- dialogue, soundtrack/music, sound effects and background sound. (This one obviously doesn't have a dialogue track though!)

This is from when I was first learning. I was using a lot of my re-created sounds and chopping and changing them and then had the original sounds as a base.

This is the battle music with background sound. Can see how I change the volume on the sound quite a bit, trying to lessen the distracting sounds like the wind.

Outside music added in.

Here is a shot of my final. Have the gun shots in the first 2 audio tracks, then actual outside track, then the last 4 are filling in empty sound which happened from when the volume gets too low. I used segments of sound from the original track.

Realspace music

After my tutorial with Mike, he suggested trying recording the music outside so that there is a different quality to the sound and so that there isn't a kind of 'dead' feel to the music. I put it into part of the clip and was quite interesting as it gave a completely new mood to the piece.

Extreme

This clip is with 'extreme' manipulation. Not only do I have background sound and music but I also added in canned laughter. Again testing the limits. So far not one person has really liked it or responded well to it. After talking it through with the most recent person came they brought up that it was to literal and this had to do with the fact that it was people. This felt really important. It meant that rather than leaving it to the viewer to anthropomorphize on there own it was leading them too much into it.

This is the same video and background music that I used for the exhibition but with the original sound put back in. The feel of the movie with the background sound is quite a bit different. I did play with the sound levels to try and take out some of the wind sound.
