Saving Sound

After we had gone to the centre to record our footage we discovered that the audio was very bad due to us not using the correct microphones, this meant that our footage was unusable. I took the audio to see if it could be recovered and i found a good way to do this in a program i have called adobe audition, the program allowed me to take a piece of the audio where there was no talking (i.e. just the background sound) and analyse the frequence, after doing this you could select the whole track and take that frequencey of the background sound out, leaving the audio with just the talking.

The Editing Process

I think this exercise showed how powerful editing can be and how much control the production and editing teams have over the final piece. In my piece I took the advert for Martini in which a man in a black suit arrives on a boat and goes and takes a drink to a woman, later on in the scene he is driving a car. Through editing i change the scene so that it seems as though the man is stealing bottles of Martini and then running away, jumping on a boat and then escaping in a car.

Documentary Research

As part of my research i watched a four minute documentary that i discovered on youtube. I felt it was relevant to our project because it involves a community project and is about a house that has been turned from a dissused building into a commmunity center.

Small Screens
Let's Play
Jo Berry

This series of experimental animated drawings developed from Jo's interest in creating digital drawings with movement. The computer as a drawing and design tool allows incredible clarity and precision in creating 'hybrids', new forms through amalgamation.

In different short animations we see experimental forms bending, flying and turning over the screen.



I believe this piece of digital art was trying to play with time and space, stopping reality in one place and showing a singular piece of time, almost like a more complex version of a photograph, and i thought it was a very interesting concept.

Tether Festival

Tether Festival presents animations and video shorts by artists and filmmakers from around the UK such as a hand-drawn battle of wits between Theresa Wrigley and Chie Hosaka.
