Sound Editor

The role as a sound editor has gained experience and knowledge on the aspect of sound in film production. One is that sound helps to tell the story by creating atmosphere, the dialogue and sound effects. Diegetic sound effects are sometimes drowned by ambience or dialogue, indiegetic sound effects at post production give it some emphasis on the sound. As a sound editor i discovered two websites that could be of help for editing your Malac. These websites offer you free sound effects and soundtracks for your production with no royalties. The first is www.soundjay.com and www.freesfx.com, though with the second website respectively you will need to sign up. It is still free.

My creativity

In the past few years my creativity has been for namely college, myself and or friends and more. These where the few noted.

For college it’s the projects I did for the course. For my final major project I did a 30 minute radio programme which I earned a Media Award for Best Radio Programme. I created a video clip mixed of two clips, the hippo and the crazy frog all in one video with backing music which i uploaded onto YouTube. Recently I shot a mini movie with my cousins and thereafter a music video for one of my friend’s song.

I did most of the past projects with little research or none at all. Mostly it was done with common knowledge that I already knew. Apart from the music video I did every project with me making all the decisions. For the music video i had to come to an agreement with the singer on what to put and what not to include in the video. The college projects I had to follow the guides provided and meet criteria, so I was narrowed to a way of doing them.

I think my life is interesting so I would like to share with the world some of the things I do through my creativity. My biography would sell millions. Creativity is in progress till the right time of release. In conclusion I would say for the future my creativity will have no limits and reach great heights.

Research will help me reach these places through giving me the relevant and modern styles on the market. Again the more ideas, the better production. Watching clips off youtube helps me get ideas that I develop or adapt to my own projects. Visiting websites to read about other practitioners and designers is another way that will guide me get to these places. Reading books and having conversations with people on related subjects of creativity helps me gain more knowledge on the subject.

I am drawn to what is happening in other related discipline as my research starting point. This is so that I stay relevant with the times. Knowing the writing process and how it actually came together is does not seem relevant to the research. The economic, political, social cultural context framing the text seems wary although your audience look at these things.

Reflection on Progress and development

From having conversations with other students about reflection on the progress and development on their projects I realised students a numerous things. Students tend to not look at other students’ work to judge theirs instead they look at related professionally made work. Also they have a mindset that their project is the best. A few students said well they get ideas from other students work but they do not compare their work with other students.

Most students have faced working as a group as the most outstanding issue because students have different energy to a given project. Then again more minds are better than one. Students need to always recap on work they have done before, as for me I had a little difficulty in working on the camera. Again as a group we found that from the last project, we were not taught the whole manual of the camera. This then tells me that as a student I need to have my own understanding of the mechanics and programs. Students need to put more on independent work.

Over the Holiday

Over the Holiday
Over the Holiday i revisited Soul Plane Directed by Jessi Terrero. The narrative follows a man who supposedly called himself an Entrepunuer. On a flight from Los Angeles to Boston, he got caught in a toilet seat and got his dog released out the flight. He sued the Airline for hundred million and bought his on plane. The story begins when the plane had its first flight. The tagline of the plane was we fly we party we land. Basically the movie is based on black people stereotypes, the narrative lacks realism. The mainstream audience is black people because of the majority of the characters and the language used. It’s a fun movie not one you can take serious.

A friend of a friend of mine who is aspiring to be a musician asked me to shoot him a video of his RnB love song. We did it and turned out fantastic but our intention was not to air out, it was to have fun with it. Initially we did a drift in the snow and we thought lets record another one. We developed a short film which received positive remarks. One of the friends who saw it told his friend about us, which led to us shoot his video.

Everyone took photos at Christmas and in the snow days but I can say my picture taking has improved since the last three assignments. After the holidays I noticed I had only three pictures of myself, the reason being I was the man behind the camera. People loved the photos I was taking. Later I realised they did not want to be behind the camera and they said, ‘his a media student he can do better.’

These are the few things i noted from the holiday
