Wild Card Assignment

Just as our previous narrative, I was in charge of the storyboard for our film.  They always seem to take longer than originally anticipated, but I eventually got them done.  There wasn't much to go on, aside from a rough sketch of a begging middle and end.  Because of this it gave me a lot of room to incorporate my own ideas.  This included a rather interesting teardrop sequence that I cannot wait to see on the screen.  What did prove difficult was finding a time that we could all meet in Randal library.  In fact most of the ideas we discussed were over Facebook.  Being that I had to leave for Easter break, I was never able to partake in building a script, something that I regret.  After sending the script to my group, it was up to them to create the script on their own.  After looking over it I was quite impressed and it fir the storyboards in an appropriate manner.

My editing experience

As me, Alyson, Megan and Victoria, began our editing it didn’t feel like it was going to take that long.  I was wrong, due to setbacks, such as premier closing on its own and corrupting my second sound file, it wasn’t until 3 a.m. that night that we were able to pack up our bags and go home.  Ill be honest, I learned more about sound in this assignment than I ever thought I would learn in my four years at UNCW.  I really enjoyed the way our group chose to approach the theme.  “I need you to do this and we need you to do that”, the first time around we approached it from the angle of rebellion, and the second time around we gave the sound the perspective of an argument between a man and a wife.  The lighting proved very beautiful, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the final result

Sound Blog

            I imagined that the sound recordings would be difficult, having to create sounds that were unique and different from one another, I imagined would be difficult.   But after the first five min of recording, I knew it would not be as difficult as I had previously imagined.  Bringing props such as pill bottles, boxes of tissues, or various objects that are capable of making sound helped a great deal.  What also helped out a great deal was the whisper booth, I had known idea it was as quite as it was in there.  As soon as Victoria and I got inside my ears began to ring from it being so quite.  This made the quality of the sound astounding, no disturbing hum in the background, nor a distant whisper interrupting the recording.  Editing the sound was also rather easy, all we had to do was copy, cut and paste our sound onto premiere, and presto, everything was done.
