analysing film clips (foley)

The children of men

At the start of the 'car scene' you can hear both people (one from the back,one from the front) talking, however in one ear you can hear the man speaking and in the other u can hear the women.

When they are in the car another car on fire rolls down the hill, when this happens you can hear someone say 'go, go were gonna make it' and the other person says ' no, were not gonna make it'. The womens voice is heard in the left ear and the mans voice behind her is in the right ear. 

Another good example of this is when the man opens the car door and smacks the motor bikers away, we hear the engine in one ear and as soon as they have been smacked away  the engine fades out to the other ear.

In this film it is made out of mostly foley shots, for example there are gun shots and screams, bangs and smashes.

The BFG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1cn-DaMxVA)

At the start of this film there are spirels on the screen, This film starts with panning because there is music/sound in my right ear which then fades of to my left. There is also panning when the giant gets the bottle out of the wooden box, as you hear it in your right ear, and when he is tipping out the stuff from the bottle, it makes a sparkling noise which goes from your right ear to your left but also gets louder once it hits your left ear. The noises of the little girl being scared are also only in your right ear and there is no voice heard in the left ear. one more example of panning in this film is the footsteps, you can hear the right foot in your right ear and the left foot in your left ear.

The lovely bones - lindsey finds evidence. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y719xX1I5U)

This film has panning as when Lindsey finds the book with all the evidence of her little sisters death she is turning the pages you start of hearing it in your right ear and as the page turns you hear it more in your left ear, you can also hear the speak of the floor boards in your right ear and the squeak when she it putting the wood back.

In another part of the film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-APah17AQA), they use panning as when he opens the drink for susie you hear the bottle open in your right ear but when it drops onto the floor you her it bang into your left ear. There is also panning when the girl is talking very scared as you can hear her in your right ear but you can hear the man in your left.

Saun of the dead evaluation

How did you work as a team?

Our group managed to work as a team by recording most of the sounds together, i thought this was team work as we all took it in turns to makes sounds and let everyone have a chance to create these sounds, which didn't leave anyone out. We also shared our ideas together on what sort of sounds we should create and how to make them. We worked as a team when it came to the editing process because we all helped fit the sounds together to make sure they sounded good and were in time with the   movement. We also worked in a team by creating some of the sounds together and deciding what sounds the best. We also worked in a team as if we didn't think that something looked/sounded right we would tell they group and they would change it so that it suited everyone. We all helped find the sounds we couldn't record, on the internet as well and all decided which sounded most suitable for the video. 

The sound effects i recorded were in sync with the final piece and i think they worked really well with the overall video. 
I think the quality of the video was good and worked well for our target audience because the sounds were appropriate.

Final Piece

I think our final piece went really good because everyone was happy with the clip and thought that our sounds fit really well with the action and movement. I was really happy with the final piece as the sounds i had recorded sounded very realistic and they turned out as well as i wanted them too. I think the overall piece worked well as the sounds we made fit very well with the video and the sounds we made were relevant for the video we were doing.  I think the quality of the final piece is really good because the sounds fit in really well with the video and the sounds are realistic and don't sound like we have just got a microphone and recorded them. The final piece was a lot harder than i thought it was going to be because some of the sounds were really hard to record and we had to record them more than once as when we listened to them they sounded ok but when it came to fitting it into the video it didn't work very well and didn't sound as we wanted it too.
