Psycho Shower Scene Audio Activity

Psycho Shower Scene Audio Activity

We had to make sound effects to fit the shower scene in psycho and recreate it ourselves. 
The function of the cue-sheets was that we could note down the time of the different sounds and note down what we could use to recreate that sound like stabbing a cabbage with a knife to sound like a person being stabbed. The cue-sheets weren't that important in our edit as we didn't have many sounds to create but in a large scale film being produced they would be essential and need to be written very detailed because there are so many sounds and different point in the timeline to insert the sounds etc.
What is Foley
Foley is creating sounds that sound exactly or incredibly similar to the real sound of something like a person walking through snow could be a sound effect artist using cardboard to sound like it. 
We did a Foley workshop and we had to create the sound of a door being shut and a scream etc by using a door and a girl screaming. We used a sound recorder a door, cabbage, knife, carrot, ring, plastic bag  and a person etc. The sound effects are created by a Foley Sound artist. 
The process of editing and recording
The door slam sounded good but the cabbage being stabbed didn't because it didn't have a loud and broad enough slice. 
Found content is content that hasn't been created by the person doing foley themselves so it could be something like a audio clip of a person screaming off the internet. The found content we used was a woman screaming. 
To edit the audio and video together we used Adobe Premiere Pro, deleted the audio from the video, imported and pasted in the sound effects to where they fit the scene using the cue-sheet. 

I don't think we applied any effects but we layered a few of the audio clips up so that the impact of the stabbing and screaming etc was greater. 
Our scene still needs some background music, a shower curtain sound effect and needs more balancing in the edit.

Editing my website photo

Editing Website Photo First I obviously imported the photo into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 on my laptop, applied the lens corrections and profiles for the lens used, removed chromatic aberration , added a bit of contrast, sharpening, clarity, vibrance, shadows, and blacks. I decreased the highlights, whites and a little bit of vignetting to focus in on the subject being my face. Here is the before and after of the photo I edited.

Task 3 evaluation

From your findings in task 1 and 2, on your blog write a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 800 words. Write a word comparison/evaluation on how the social media platforms like twitter, instagram, facebook snapchat and youtube are used by audiences and institutions to access and deliver specific information. Use your own examples as well as examples from the film sites that you looked at in task 2. You need to discuss 2. Discuss how a film audience uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they are seeing/ discussing. Discuss how a film company uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they have produced. From Task 1 the information I got was that most people in fact 80% of all that I asked said they used You Tube the most to watch Film Trailers. This helps me a lot because it gives a clear indication as an idea of what platform to advertise the film we are creating the most. I asked people if they used Snapchat, Facebook, Ins...

Creating an Interview

Creating an Interview Make them fell comfortable, listen for a bit longer than you would actually listen normally so the audio is clean when asking the questions. Pick a good location with a good background  Make the interviewee look at the interviewer  Keep the eye contact  Nod at the interviewee to show interest  Keep the 180 degree rule to not confuse the audience The  180 °  rule  is a film guideline that says that two characters in a scene should keep the same left/right relationship to one another. If the camera passes over the line connecting the two subjects, its called crossing the line and it confuses the audience. Frame the subject in the rule of thirds  Leave a small gap at the top of the frame between the head and the edge of frame Use manual focus and a shallow depth of field Have something related to the subject the interviewee is talking about in the background if possible Keep the camera at the same...
