PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY – Due Jan. 29

LEADER(S) IN THE FIELD / EXEMPLARY WORK(S)

David Lynch

Primary Source

I chose this video because David Lynch goes into detail about why he loved art, the things that inspired him, etc. Him explaining these things kind of inspire me to want to have the same devotion and love for art as he did.

Secondary Source

This video goes into detail on the ideas of David Lynch, His films, and his overall philosophy of art not needing an explaination, but art explaining for you.

SUMMARY – Due Jan. 28

Role

• BASASASASASASASS!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!

Intention (SMART Goal) for the Session

• By Feb 28, as part of TEAM (G), I will have evidence of the filthiest heaviest song I’m capable of making by following for Session 4.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY – Due Jan. 29

LEADER(S) IN THE FIELD / EXEMPLARY WORK(S)

Swans-Early, Filth-Cop Era Swans.

Primary Source

I chose this video because it showcases the raw energy that Swans produce with their music. This is not the exact sound I’m going for with my song though. I would have put a live video of their 80s Filth stuff, which IS what I am going for, but it is impossible to obtain such a thing.

Secondary Source

I chose this video because it delves into Michael Gira’s influences, interest, and overall more insight about the kind of person he is.

TRAINING SOURCE(S)

• 1:08-“The 7 Dwarves” represent a spectrum of frequencies. 5 of these dwarves represent parts of the sound spectrum relevent to bass. He goes more in depth about what these dwarves represent and how they can help get bad frequencies out.
• 2:08-Tubby the dwarf represents the bottom of the sound spectrum, around 80hz. Reducing the amount of bass on the bass/amp will help make sure Tubby is not taking over.
• 3:49-Turning the tone knob down on your bass and bass up on your amp is a good way for Tubby to shine.
• 4:32-Muddy the dwarf is around 250hz, decreasing it will help it sound less muddy and muffled, increasing will helpit sound fuller. So too much=muddy, too little=hollow.
• 6:57-Honkey the dwarf is around 500hz

PRE-PRODUCTION – PLANNING – Due Feb. 7

PROJECT TIMELINE

Pre-production Milestones

• Decide genre/research influences
• Plan out song/structure and what not
• Complete pre-production blog post section

Production Milestones

• Connect all instruments to Garageband/make sure everything is working
• Record song/vocals
• Mix the song

Post-production Milestones

• Finish production blog post and slideshow
• Recieve feedback from peers and advisory members
• Finish blog post

PROPOSED BUDGET

I would not be paying for a mixer/engineer as I’m doing all of that myself. If I were to hypothetically hire a mixer/engineer, the average cost is around $90-100.

The average cost for an hour of studio time is around $50, so if I were to need around 8 days that would put me at $400.

Those combined would be around $500.

EVIDENCE OF TEAM PLANNING AND DECISIONS

Document: EQ Sources

Will have new images soon, I have this document though.

PRODUCTION – ACTION – Due Feb. 27

THE (FILM, SOUND, or GAME)

Horrifyingly Extruciating Death at the Hands of an Unkown Evil Entity in the Abyss of Oblivion

An 80s Swans era inspired nightmare of heavy, flying drums, vicious bass, and confusingly scary guitar riffs. A song intended to make the listener really have to pay attention to what they are hearing.

SKILLS COMMENTARY

Link the team slideshow with your role, SMART Goal, and evidence of your SMART Goal for this session.

I provided all instrumentation. I did vocals. I Mixed and Mastered the song

However: There is an alternate version with other people’s skills providing instrumentation, vocals, and mixing/mastering.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION – Due Mar. 7

21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity)

It was very frustating and fun to have to come up with certain mixing and EQ’s during this session. It was really frustating when I would spend almost the whole class period trying to get a certain sound and it just wouldn’t sound right. But it was very worth finally finding the right sound or accidentally coming up with something really cool.

Ways of Working (Collaboration)

I really wanted collaborators for this song because I thought it was a cool idea to have a bunch of talented people have my version of the song and see what they could do on their respectivve fields of expertise.

For this I reached out to:

Tucker: Producing/Mixing/Mastering

Dylan: Vocals/Guitar

Warner: Drums

Ryan: Guitar/Vocals

Micha is an absolute killer when it comes to focusing on what he needs to do and getting it done. I met Micha in middle school and since then we’ve been good friends. Micha is a very centered individual, but he also knows how to treat others with respect and dignity. Since I met him, Micha has been a very funny person, but of course, knows when too much is too much. I would personally recommend any place of work to hire Micha for his outstanding work ethic, comedic, kind, and respectful personality, and his ability to adapt to things he is still learning.

SUMMARY – Due Dec. 9

Role

• Sound

Intention (SMART Goal) for the Session

• By Jan. 10, as part of TEAM #6 I will have evidence of having audio that immerses the viewer further into the film by following Creating Immersive Scenes With Sound Design // Layering Sound Effects for Session 3.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY – Due Dec. 13

LEADER(S) IN THE FIELD / EXEMPLARY WORK(S)

Ron Bartlett

Primary Source

The sound design in this scene builds and incredible amount of tension, from the kettle slowly boiling and whistling and getting to it’s peak when the scene reaches the climax, to the impactful sounds of the punches thrown, walls smashed, and men grunting. This scene immerses me in what’s happening and makes me wanna pay attention.

Secondary Source

I chose this source because Ron Bartlett goes in depth on the sound of Blade Runner 2049. He explains why he chose to do some of the things he did, and gives a lot of background to his choices.

TRAINING SOURCE(S)

0:07-Use sound effect libraries

0:21-know what mood your’re after

0:44-work out all of the elements you will need

1:19-add sound effects that aren’t exactly in the scene/shot, but would make sense for the setting

2:19-Think about the frequency response of the sound effects (make sure they aren’t all low and rumbly, or high pitched and thin, spread them out)

3:07-Use EQ to balance/exagerate the sounds

The Picnic

A short thriller about a backstabbing (chest stabbing) girlfriend leading her boyfriend to a picnic that ends in blood.

SKILLS COMMENTARY

Slideshow

I was the sound designer but was not able to design any sound.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION – Due Jan. 17

21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I thought a lot about what I COULD have done had I had the chance but I ended up not being able to go through with any of it. I feel that the ideas I had will help with next session however.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I was able to communicate with my team that I likely would not have been able to get much done, and that I would’t be available for filiming due to work and not having much time. This gave them time to prepare for the fact that they wouldn’t have a sound designer which allowed them to figure out there own plan.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I was going to take inspiration from films like The Lighthouse and Blade Runner 2049, but was never able to go through with the ideas these gave me.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I learned that I should be more focused on obstacles that might get in the way of getting certain things done. I also feel like this session showed me how important planning way way ahead can be and how it can help with problems that might get in the way of getting things done on time.

REACTIONS TO THE FINAL VERSION

Place at least one comment from the PEER review and cite the student’s first name. Place at least one comment from the ADVISOR review and cite the student’s first name.

SELF-REFLECTION

I picked action points: I don’t have any material to reflect off of so I’ll just go off of the things that happened throughout the session. I would definetly not that I need to focus on how I can get things done with time constraints, unavailability, etc. I wanna focus on getting ahead of the problems and getting things done when I have the chance even if it’s not a lot of time. And if it isn’t a lot of time I need to plan out what I can do in that amount of time and not try to do too much.

GRAMMAR AND SPELLING

I used Grammarly and had an editor to check my spelling and grammar.

LEADER(S) IN THE FIELD / EXEMPLARY WORK(S)

Stin (Austin Tackett)

Primary Source

I chose this source/leader in the field because I absolutely love this band and their latest album “Cool World” that they’ve released and I’ve been extremely inspired to make something replicating their sound.

Secondary Source

This Guy goes into detail and does a deep analysis of the themes, sounds, techniques, choices and overall quality (subjetive, but still) of the album and the songs within it, and gives an unbiased review.

TRAINING SOURCE(S)

• 7:20-Mute Strings more.
• 15:09-Know when or when not to do something, like playing to notes, or doing a slide.
• 16:58-know the ranges of the bass
• 23:18-Use microphones that will pick up what your playing better, so for bass, mics that pick up low end sounds better. (not very applicable in this class, but still good advice)
• 27:37- have good mixing that fits the bass, maybe add effects compliment it.

PROJECT TIMELINE

Pre-production Milestones

• Decide roles for the team.
• Discuss the overall sound/genre.
• Research influences.

Production Milestones

• Getting things to work.
• Jamming with the team.
• Mixing the song.

Post-production Milestones

• Export and link the song.
• Present the slideshow.
• Receive feedback.

PROPOSED BUDGET

The studio cost for this session would cost around $1800

I calculated how much an hour of time in a professional studio costs on average and multiplied it by the amount of days/hours we would be in the studio for this session.

Average cost an hour-around $90

Time-around 20 hours (20 days, about an hour every day)

EVIDENCE OF TEAM PLANNING AND DECISIONS

The same lyrics that we did not have a chance to record last session.

21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I tried working in a more unique tone to my bass and tried to come up with heavier, groovier riffs. I had to think about how to come up with a bass tone that was heavy enough for my personal preference buy also didn’t drown out the guitar.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

We communicated a lot on the general sound we wanted and listened to eachother’s ideas. We also drew out the structure of the song and how it would progress which helped a lot in going through with the actual recording process.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I listened to a lot of music in the same genre for inspiration on the tone of my bass, it also helped me come up with better riffs and what not.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

This session I learned once again that not being present can be a horrible thing for the project and the team in general, in school or anywhere else.

REACTIONS TO THE FINAL VERSION

April said vocals would be a good addition.

SELF-REFLECTION

I picked retrospective: I learned about how to use the eq in garageband and I feel like that will help a lot in future sessions and in making music in general. I also mentioned that we drew and mapped out the structure of the song which I hadn’t thought of until Tucker mentioned doing it, and it helped a lot.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st CENTURY SKILLS

WAYS OF THINKING (PROBLEM SOLVING)

As per usual, we had LOTS of technical difficulties. There we mostly just issues with getting sound to go through, or come out the right way. We solved most of these issue by getting assistance from peers, or Mr. Le Duc. Other times we had to figure out solutions on our own, which we would get through by either talking through things as a team, or allowing just one person to take over and solve it, which worked very well most of the time.

WAYS OF WORKING (COLLABORATION)

We collaborated really well this session I felt. We talked about issues we would encounter, we jammed very well together, we allowed eachother to express concerns, opinions, and ideas.

TOOLS FOR WORKING (MEDIA LITERACY)

I listened to a lot of music in the same genre, and other related genres we planned to portray with our original song. The times we were recording for our orignally planned song I felt the music I listened to helped boost my creativity and give me ideas.

Some of what I listened to:

Filth by Swans

Cool World by Chat Pile

God’s Country by Chat Pile

In Utero by Nirvana

WAYS OF LIVING IN THE WORLD (Career)

I learned that being sick is, of course, an absolute curveball for most everything in life. While my team and the song we ended up with satisfied us. without me this session, that could potentially not be said for future sessions. This also relates to real world, professional workplaces.

SKILLS COMMENTARY

Slideshow

My intentions were to learn and improve my editing of the audio this session, however due to being sick, I only had time to visually edit. (we also hadn’t captured audio)

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION – Due Oct. 18

21st CENTURY SKILLS

WAYS OF THINKING (PROBLEM SOLVING)

Due to a lack of time and absences on my part, as an editor I had to find another way to apply my own part to the film. At home I used capcut to color grade and add effects.

WAYS OF WORKING (COLLABORATION)

I collaborated with my team this session by communicating about certain styles the team wanted within the final edit of the film. I did my best to apply these stylistic choices. My team and I discussed the color grading specifically and decided that a warmer look for the dream sequence/outdoor part of the film would be fitting for the sort of dystopian look we were shooting for. We discussed that a cooler look would be good for the end scene to represent a more modern, technological look, as the main character is supposed to be waking up in a hospital.

TOOLS FOR WORKING (MEDIA LITERACY)

I did not have anything to edit until the last few days of the film, so I spent the majority of the time before that brainstorming and looking at a multitude of references so that I could convey the decided style withing our film.

WAYS OF LIVING IN THE WORLD (Career)

I learned that being sick is, of course, an absolute curveball for most everything in life. While my team and the film were able to survive without me this session, that could potentially not be said for future sessions. This also relates to real world, professional workplaces.

REACTIONS TO THE FINAL VERSION

“The color grading was very good, I liked how it Changed from warm to cool” – Isabelle

Place at least one comment from the ADVISOR review and cite the student’s first name.
