Sound Story!

-

 Hello everyone! It's been a while, but I am more than happy to come back better than ever! I recently did a sound story and followed that with a foley. In this post, I will describe how it was making it and in the end you can hear my sound story and see my foley! 


The editing technique I used was Imovie. I used this mostly because it was free but also because it has a lot of interesting features that are available to use to create interesting and exciting movies, but in this case sound! I learned how to layer sound within the story. Since my story was about going to a movie theatre and watching a movie, I had to find audios that matched the environment and would sound good when layered with other sounds. For example, when walking into the theatre, I had to layer background talking and popcorn making while adding walking sounds on carpet. 

However, not everything was easy and simple. When creating my own sounds I had some trouble. For the drinking sound in my foley, I had to drink a lot of ginger-ale to create the sound which gave me a stomach ache, next time I think water will do. Also, for the car locking sound and the turning signal, I had to make sure there would not be surrounding noise that could affect the audio. It took many takes but after a while, my partner and I got it! 

If I were to redo the project, I would definitely create more foley sounds because it gives me an experience for what making my own short film will be like. Of course I can't make every sound but I would like to try making 50% of the sounds on my own. 

Now, without further ado, please enjoy my sound project and foley! Get some popcorn ;) and enjoy!

Storyboard!

Hello Everyone! Today I will talk about storyboarding!  Storyboarding is a tool in the world of visual storytelling, acting as a crucial blueprint that guides filmmakers, animators, and other creative minds in bringing their narratives to life. Through my exploration of this art form, I've come to appreciate the balance between creativity and structure that storyboarding demands. Storyboarding is the process of visually planning a narrative, breaking it down into a sequence of individual shots or frames. This pre-visualization allows creators to map out the flow of a story, ensuring coherence and visual continuity. What I find most compelling about storyboarding is its ability to serve as a visual script, showing a preview of the final product before production begins. This early visualization not only aids in communication among the creative team but also acts as a reference point to maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and overall narrative coherence. However, despite its numero...

Camera Shots and Angles

Hello again! In this blog post I will be showing five clips of different camera shots and angles. I used five different ones to show a variety of emotion, setting, and stories. Since I am still practicing they may not be perfect BUT that is more than okay! With practice comes perfection :) Enjoy the clips!  In this clip, I was trying to achieve a close-up shot to show the emotion in the eyes.  With this clip, I used an establishing shot. The purpose of this was to show where my setting is and how it looks like. Also, how it affects the other clips and provides a portion of the time it was shot.  In this clip, I used a high angle shot to establish what the actor was doing and for the watcher to get an idea of what might come next.  I used a point of view shot (POV) to show the actors viewpoint of an action they were doing.  I used a dutch angle shot to portray disorientation that the actor is going through.

Movie Analysis

Hello everyone! I was watching my favorite show "Friends" and decided to analyze an episode called "The one with all the thanksgivings" if you have not seen the show yet, I highly recommend you do! I put five screenshots of scenes from the episode and analyzed the different angles and camera shots.  This is a medium shot and a two shot. In this scene, Chandler and Ross are washing the dishes and discussing what they will be doing after thanksgiving dinner. This scene affects the story because Chandler makes a rude comment about Monica that leads to the climax of the episode. It also shows their body language and can tell they have been friends for a long time. They also look relaxed and comfortable with one another. By the look of their outfits, you can infer the time period is in the 80's and they are at an older person's house (Ross's mom).  This is a mid over-the-shoulder shot. This scene is showing Monica trying to seduce Chandler a year after he cal...
