Sound Project

Finally I have finished my sound project - Remember A Journey? What we had to do was make a 3 minute film made up entirely of still images, letting the sound tell the story.
Once again trying to get the video to upload is proving tricky, it is available for viewing on YouTube and on my facebook page, so pop by and have a look. My god it takes a long time to load onto facebook.


I also had to do a presentation this week and submit an essay about "how have audiences affected the creation and transmission of contemporary television programming?"
I used The Graham Norton Show to support my ideas - i hope it was good.


I also saw the film "Connie and Carla" the other day, it's a great film, if you want to watch two attractive women pretending to be drag queens just to escape a mob gang, then this is the film for you. It is jam-packed full of black humour, songs and men wearing an awful lot of make-up, I highly recommend - also David Duchovny appears as a love interest so it has to be good.

Sound

Oh my god, i thought i had the workings of final cut pro down to a t, but obviously i didn't. why should pictures go off line when i haven't touched them! stupid machine.
On a lighter note - i finally saw Waterworld all the way through for the first time a couple of days ago, now i can understand why there was financial trouble with it but i can't understand why it flopped, it was just a more romantic version of The Day After Tomorrow. Oh Well

The Catch-up

Wow, I do apologize for the gap between blogs and the length of this one.
First of all, the sound project - what a challenge. I decided to do a journey about a car journey having had many family holidays where I spent most of my time in the car watching the english countryside pass me by. So, for my Journey my parents and I went on a little jaunt down to the white cliffs of Dover to watch the ferris go out with me taking pictures all the way - my dad is a rubbish driver, he is far too slow! Anyhoo, they seemed to enjoy themselves - never let me and my mother in a public place together, we are slightly disruptive - talking to seagulls and the like. Luckily it was on one of those sunny days during easter so the lighting was good. I used my normal crappy digital camera to take the pictures - I love my camera! It can achieve far more than I thought it could.
The project itself - the pictures cut well together. I was planning on having a very normal Trowbridge car journey with a little twist at the end so I will try to get all the types of sound you inside and outside the car - things like traffic, radio and conversations. Fun, Fun, Fun!
