Film Project Assignment
Film Project Assignment.
For the film project we learned different techniques to bring the film, we was assign to do, to life.
one of the techniques I use was cluster chords to bring tension to the audience and a sense of warning that something going to happen. we had to do a course on a composer and what he/she did. I picked Henry Jackman. he was the one who Composed wreak-it-Ralph and x man first class.
We had a meeting with the drama student to talk about what they want in there film. they told my group they wanted something scary for one part of the film and for the rest we should think of what to do. I did the scary part on logic also the motif for one of the characters. one other of my group member did the theme for the film. on logic i also put in a fly sample and pan it to make it seem like its in the room and not just a sound coming from the film i got this idea from Morricone.this worked because everyone in the room looked around
For the performance we did to live gigs and we improvised on the film only a tiny bit. for our 2 live gigs i played piano with the string sample to give it more tension.in our last gig Lamare and Oscar sang and rap a song they made. they were talking about spies and how they need to lay low. It work because we all come together and worked as a team and shared our thoughts and opinion. Musician it work because we had go communication with one another.
