Personal Research Project

SO today i started looking into research for my PRP. I have decided i want to look at the implications and effects of audio in film. Not theoretically, more physiologically. So maybe to do with the physical response of the audience under audio stimulus. The literary survey may pose a challenge, simply because i will have to look at biofeedback and psychophysiology- joy.

Simulated Client Project

Today i went in for a seminar sesh with Jools, each of us had to bring 3-4 ideas with a view to have chosen one by the end. All we did was hear everyones ideas, and if we didnt like the idea...we got to throw balls at them. I didnt dislike any of Olli's ideas, i just felt like throwing stuff at him. Anyhow, I now have an idea which i think will be a good production.

Basically...

A woman enters her house, bags of shopping in both hands. She sets aside her bags then opens one, removing an insect repellent. She goes about her business, unpacking shopping.

She stop suddenly, looking all around her, as the sound of tiny, high-pitched coughs surround her.

High pitched final-breaths are audible. The woman goes about her business.

I am thinking something along the lines of "Pest Suppress" or "Pest Arrest" for a product name. I will start writing a script and a storyboard this week.

Client Project- Simulated Brief

I have started doing some pre-production docs for the Simulated Client project. I have done a full script and most of a storyboard, and also a logo for the product packaging-made with Macromedia Flash. At the moment i havent got the logo 'cos im on a library pc, but it will go up shortly.

Simulated Client Project

We have been given a brief for part of the Client Project module, it requires me to produce a 30-second advertisement for a bug spray or insect repellent. I have a few ideas lined up, but until i meet with Jools later in the week i wont confirm anything yet.

2nd Year Group Project

This is the video i directed last year for the group project. Thought it should be on here, just for reference sake.

So here we are, back in Nottingham after a very wet summer, straight into the thick of it. I spent most of the holidays making music, a few tracks are in use with a few producers in London, but with their own time constraints and my own, I am unsure of how the production will develop over the first term. However, there is plenty to keep me busy what with the PRP (Personal Research Project) looming. I am unsure at the moment what I want to do, although I think I want to focus on audio within film, or film for audio…something along those lines.
