Sound and Camera testing
Today like last week where I was given the task of creating a visual piece with a script, the roles within the group have been flipped around so this time I will be working on the sound but in a different way.
We worked on a three point lighting setup.
The set task was to create a 1 minute film, groups of four, no action within the film and it would have to be one shot - It would have to include sound and use a lighting setup.
Script idea that we came up with - One take - Light positioned behind the actor (using red acetate) First 10 seconds will be pitch black - Light turns on and floods the scene using green acetate, then we switch the light off for a few seconds and then turned the light on for a second time but on the flashing setting to give the feel that an army convoy are in the vicinity.
For this project we went all out by buying an army costume design which featured a helmet, dog tags and a balaclava. This costume design would blend in perfectly with the sound design of (sirens, bombs going off, heavy breathing, rumbling sounds, convoy which would all help to give the effect of war).

Reviewing the footage, selecting the appropriate clips for the edit, re-naming the files that we need

The Edge / Set Roles:
Luke: Director and actor
Aidan: Lighting and Costume Design
Constantinos: Cinematographer
Sound: All helped out to achieve a high quality sounding piece
Sound: All helped out to achieve a high quality sounding piece
Sound Ideas - The sounds that we came up with would include a series of small bangs, the noise will gradually get louder and louder, followed by heavy breathing. After the black screen has finished, I thought that we could fade in the sound of a siren over the top of the flashing lights, given the impression that I have been spotted by an army patrol, linking back to the name of the piece as "Saving Private Luke".
Editing
Myself and Aidan edited the footage and sound recordings together to create our final piece "Saving Private Luke" I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece, especially as it was all my idea, my group helped however to make it possible and we were very proud of what we had created.
