Speicalising Proposal
My proposal for the Specialisation hand in is based on the two options I’ve chosen which are. Sound for screen and studio praxis. I’ve chosen a short clip from the selection provided and ended up with the first scene from A Quiet Place. I chose this specific clip because of the foley and sound design capabilities it allows. I did a short blog entry and study of the foley for this film last year and now being offered an option to do the sound for it I’m looking forward to the challenge.
I’ve already done substantial research into the themes, ideas and creation of the sound design. From the sound being written into the script to the creation and selective choices, the sound designers did when creating this film. Based on this information I will be reacting to the same brief the sound designers would have been given and reacting to it to recreate similarly but my interpretation. After creating the initial rough draft mix I want to combine the studio practice lectures into possibly creating a group to improvise with synthesisers to my clip. Then sample the recordings to manipulate and produce minimal sound effects and sounds to create tension.
My current scheduling is that I’ve already done my research on the film and the design choices of the director so I’m at the stage of collection. Atmosphere sounds will be recorded first as I feel this will be the hardest due to the nature of the film being very quiet. I will have finished the atmosphere recordings by the end of this week Sunday the seventh of November. And move towards the foley and sound effects stage by Monday the eighth of November. Doing cloth, feet and prop sounds by the latest fourteenth or fifteenth of November.
I will then once establish a rough first draft, figure out the next step of sounds that will incorporate this scene and the production to accompany.
I want to be on the mixing and mastering stage by the latest the twenty-second of November. which leaves me ten days for the mixing and mastering process which I feel based on the script and theory of this film to be a tedious reflective process. Ideas and intentions will be the hardest process. To add and create sound without harming the tension in the scene.
