TechnologyCurrent Lecture The Hardest Button to Button Technique: Stop Motion Photography Tripod, capture image, move image, repeat Shot this with a mini camera; we could do the same with sharper image quality with tools form IMC What Works About It: Movement to the beat / Motion gives a sense of forward movement; momentum Precise; need song to edit it. Song comes first.Combing Sound and Image History Stereopticons and Magic Lanterns Relationship between sound and image precedes video Combining Sound and Image Synchronous Sound Sound matching action and recorded at the same time as picture Non-Synchronous Sound Sound that does not match action and recorded at different time from picture- This is animation / Typically sound goes first Examples of AnimationsThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. Creature Comforts: Nick Park-Aardman Studios Went around London interviewing people about what they thought about living in London, and used Claymation animation of animals in zoo to give responses Backseat Bingo : Dir. Liz Blazer (USC, 2004) What Changes Due to Animation- Visually: You pick up little cues with body language. With video, may show cues you didn’t want to see.- With Just Video or Podcast: This makes it more humorous / Takes away uncomfortableness from taboo topic- Animation allows it to be more cheery- Animated figures all have big eyes which make them more relatable / Nature of Animation is that it abstracts reality to a certain degree which may make it easier for theaudience to connect Combining Sound and Image Diegetic Sound Sound that is part of the story space (or the “diegesis”). Characters can hear it.- Exists within the world- Example from Backseat Bingo: Person Clapping- Example from Backseat Bingo: Sound of Diving Board Non-Diegetic Sound Sound that is not part of the story space, such as a film’s score. Characters cannot hear it.- Example from Backseat Bingo: There are certain moments of scoring within backseat bingo Illusion Diegetic or Non-Diegetic: It’s an illusion. Can be watching what feels like the most realistic, but there are tons of sleight of hand going on.Elements of Sound Design Elements of Sound Design Dialogue Narration Voice Over is typically Non-Diegetic Some great movies or TV series use voice over narration - Examples: How I met your mother / Scrubs / House of Cards; Breaks the 4th Wall / Ferris Bueller’s Day Off / Grey’s Anatomy / Wolf of Wallstreet / Mean Girls Ambience Tells us about the space we’re in Music and Scoring Think of animation: sound comes first. Then animate. Then at the end is scoring.  Sound Effects Number of ways to generate them. Can go to sound effects libraries. Can try to create them yourself.  Foley- In a space with strange instruments and boards trying to create sound / a good foley artist can go from woman in high heels to big guy wearing flip flops instantly Additional Terms Foley ADR (Automated Dialogue Recording) When you didn’t get it quite right, you need to re-record what you got Sound Editing Going out and getting different sounds recorded that you need (sound effects, dialogue tracks, etc.). They cut them and put them all in. Sound Mix Mix the different tracks together. Work out the levels of the different tracks.  Case Study: Any Given Sunday (dir. Oliver Stone, 1999) What are the different ways in which sound is used? Make a list of the sounds and their significance. List of Sounds from Class: Thunder Sound / Tackling Sounds / Ref Whistles / Camera Shots / Violins / Crowd Cheering / Puking / Football Pads / Hitting the Ground / Airplane / Laying on the Ground Injured (Underwater Kind of Sound… Makes time feel like it’s slowing down) / Silence versus Growling / Technology Film Sound Always recorded independently on different tracks and synced in post. Double-system method. Video Sound Either recorded double-system or single-system. Double-system enables higher quality and control.  If professional production, it’s probably the double system method recording independently. Our equipment can use single system method. It’s extremely handy for documentary production, but you’re giving up a certain level of
