Sound Art Project

For this project, my group had Will, Brian, and Angel. The story behind our project is the journey of a plate through a restaurant. Most of the sounds for this project were made by ourselves, with little artificial help. For help with sounds, there were plenty of free to use sounds on YouTube, and on the WeVideo website. The planning process was simple, as all that was needed was a story board which was easy to make. The board detailed different sounds that were needed and the spots they would fit in, with some additions along the way. There no major changes throughout the process, only one or 2 small fixes to sound placement and use. There were no difficulties because as i previously said, most of the sounds were made by us so they were easy to access and use. Having worked in a restaurant before, although brief, I had some knowledge of what goes on in the kitchen which helped massively with the beginning and end of the project. An inspiration I had for this idea was the Ratatouille movie, which opens with a scene very similar to the one we made. The idea for this was to mimic this scene and to be able to imagine it without video. It follows a similar formula, with a look through the busy kitchen in contrast to the peaceful and calm dining room. 

Here are some examples of the group making the Foley sounds for the movie.

Brian used this simple method to mimic a knife on a cutting board, used while touring through the kitchen.

Another instance of the Foley sounds being made are by me picking up and putting down plates. This sound i used in several instances throughout the project, making it vital.

 Blog Post #7- 10/24/22 Mood Board Project The genre I chose for my mood board is horror. Given the time of year, it felt only fitting. The recipe for most modern and old horror movies consists of a dark, gritty setting with less than dependable characters and of course a formidable threat, in the form of an angry spirit or an axe wielding maniac. Locations can vary significantly, with some settings including a city or entire state, and some confined to a few rooms in a house. A very good example of this is a movie I saw recently, "The Black Phone". The location for the movie is Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite this, the setting of the movie is mostly a small room holding the main protagonist as he deals with the insanity of the villain. I feel that horror movies can have limitless creative freedom with props, as horror just has to give the audience a feeling of unease and danger. Prop designers can create Eldritch beings beyond human understanding as seen in "The Mis...

 Blog Post #19- Challenges of Filming During our filming, we did face a couple problems. Since our scene needed to be filmed in the dark but we met during the day. We needed to block out all sources of lights in the room, which required us to close blinds, shutters, and small windows. Another challenge was actually planning to meet up and film which we were able to do. We handled the challenges well, being able to cover everything and film what we needed. Everyone was pulling their weight as we had multiple roles in the film and a cameraman. Our filming process went very well with minimal roadblocks.
