Sound Design Statement Research Pt.2

-
The first two minutes of our film planned on having minimal dialogue so to make up for that lack of speech we plan on using fake laughing to be our ADR when a character says a joke to fill in for blank space. Doing this and adding background music during tense situations was our main layout so me being responsible for the sound design statement I had to find ways to acquire audio like this for our film.

One day our cinematographer was scrolling on TikTok and found a song that was played by an orchestra and felt like it was needed in our film. Now to avoid copyright, i took it and placed the song in adobe audition and tampered with it and converted it into an mp3 file and after doing so my group fell in love with it.  

The link to the TikTok is attached to this blog but the outcome of the mp3 will be saved for our film. While editing this sound I was able to put it into a online key finder which taught me that this song overall consisted of an E Flat Minor. I looked up what that meant and I learned that this key was one of the darkest, and most somber keys. Now knowing this made me want to put it in our film better to that dark theme of false reality being our films main idea.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
