 3rd snippet

This is the link to my 3rd audio snippet

I now have all the voice recordings. We had to fade in and out most of the voices, this is so the voices blended from one to another more smoothly. We had voices in the background and the foreground to give that effect as though the voices were coming from both far and near. There are some voices I am not happy with because they sound a bit overpowering and we will edit the levels next time. Because of all the repeated vocals from the 1st and 2nd snippets, we've had to delete as many repeats to make space, this was time consuming. 

Because I didn't have any control with how the selected people recorded their voices, I found that some of them were muffled when we were listening to them. We had to put on some effects to distort some of their voice so it sounded balanced with the other recorded voices.

I did not want the same person speaking their thought in a row, which I didn't for most of the track but as we had an abundance of audio to sieve through this became challenging as we ran out of time. If I did this again I would get individuals to record their vocals individually rather than one whole voice note. This way I wouldn't have to separate them afterwards and would make it easier to slot them in. 

I am really happy with the track starting with Yang singing. Her voice added to the whole performance. I also have a breakdown in the track with a heartbeat and creepy strings as it gets more serious with impulsive, negative thoughts. On this part of the track ideally I would like the lights to turn red or flash to stimulate the viewer. I really like this part as it breaks up the track. I am hoping to remove more repeated vocals to allow space to add my grandma and other recordings with different languages. The track is now 12 minutes long.

Critical Studies Research with Tom

  Art vs Design Ballpoint pen and Paintbrush Art is something that I believe doesn't need a purpose to exist whereas design needs a purpose to function. The ballpoint pen on the left is designed for the purpose of writing. Whereas the paintbrush is for creating art. The brush itself did have to be designed for a function but what it's made for doesn't have a purpose, which is ok .  Calligraphy is the art of writing letters with a paintbrush whereas a ballpoint pen is also to write letters but in a simple non-artistic way. Authorship Auerbach and  Robert Stadler This drawing by Auerbach interests me due to its expressive movements and marks. It reminds me of an 80s video by the pop group Aha ‘Take on Me’. It is very expressive and lacks details in terms of accuracy. I can imagine the artist making this drawing and visualising his arm moving in my head as if I were making the drawing myself. It also has a darker side to it. I think this is because the charcoal he uses, it

Professional Practice 1-6 Talks

Professional Practice Talk Talk 1 - Tom Hackett It was really interesting how Tom took us on a journey through his work. The first thing up on the screen was his CV, which started off as a list format and then spiralled on a journey of organised chaos that he navigated us through. I found Tom's work and journey really inspiring. Like the huge hand-knitted coloured net that covered the building above. "You have to go to the world.... The world won't go to you" I really like this quote above from Tom because as a working artist, you have to push hard and grow a thick skin to get your work out there. Along the way, you will hear a lot of no's. Tom is a successful artist, not just from his skill as a creator alone but because of his can do attitude and his likeable personality. An example of how Tom goes above and beyond was when he stayed awake on a small rowing boat for 24 hours. He collected water samples from along the river Severn in Worcester to then create this

Final Development for Portrait Project 'Torn Emotions'

Final video of Torn Emotions for Portrait   I decided to change the music for my short video using Artist Cleo Sol- Myself. I feel that the lyrics work with this piece giving the viewer hope if you are going through a troubling time. I was unfortunate on this day of recording to not have a beautiful sunny day so I created my own light in the background to recreate a sunny day as I wanted to get that sun ray effect on the video. I attached an A3 piece of acetate to the back of my piece and then I further stitched on top to connect my images all together. This was to correct where I removed the stitching on acetate I didn't like.
