Sound
To begin this rotation we started to look at the components of sound and how they are used in film. As a warm up, we were tasked with drawing the sounds we could hear around us. I completed mine from my bedroom.
I started with the black lines, representing the light hum from my static tv. As doors banged the lines became more jagged and a louder hum of voices appeared. I used the blue to represent the sounds of wind blowing outside my window. As a emergency vehicle drives past the sirens grow louder, shown with the pink swirls. Finally, a few loud bursts of laughter erupted from the hallway; i felt sudden red streaks suited this well.
For the next task I went slightly off brief. We were suppose to make a 20 second recording of a journey between 2 spaces made up of lots of different sounds. I decided to record parts of my whole day, documenting the journey I took through sounds. I though it would be interesting to see if my peers could figure out where I went and what I got up to just through the audio. It ended up being 1 minute 30 to fit everything in, but I think its worth the extra time.
For the final task I had to create 3 x 10 second ‘onomatopoeia club’ style films. The can be viewed here:

I created the sounds on Garage Band, which I had not used before. Being a drummer I went straight to the drums section and created my first sound basing it off club like music. I went for pretty obvious visuals with a girl dancing and lights changing colours but I think this fits the sound well. For my second sound I used a GIF I had created in my spar time previously and thought that some space sync sounds would suit it best. I am clearly less strong with a piano. Finally I wanted to created a dangerous sound so used a Chinese drum set to create this leading up to a battle sound. I mirrored this with a creepy stop motion of a doll and I think the constant spinning emphasizes the repetitive drumming sound. Overall I am happy with all of them however I definitely like my first piece most as I enjoy that type of music and it was fun to create.
