Sound Experiment 04
Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it. For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image. Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi
So... looking at these maps, I think there's a risk that you're not connecting with a specific enough theoretical framework; you need something meatier for a 2000 word assignment, which will require of you that you demonstrate good technical knowledge of a theoretical context. My experience is colour theory can quickly encourage a student to become 'descriptive' - I'm wondering if Baby Driver is 'ideas-driven' enough, as my experience of that film was that it was wonderfully entertaining and joyously superficial... like much of that director's work. Can I ask you to consider some additional potential topics, as most of your classmates thrashed out three different possible case-studies. I'd suggest perhaps that you need to look at things that are more possibly 'problematic' or 'under tension' so as to create lots of room for debate and discussion...
