Tonight I
had a totally new idea that I think could possibly work as a dissertation
topic. Basically, I was thinking about last year and what I enjoyed the most
about it. Apart from the Audio Production Methods module and doing film
soundtrack analysis, I have really enjoyed recording foley and sounds for the
“Sword of Truth” Sound Library as part of the Sound Effects and Spatialization
module. I have recently had a conversation with a friend about horror movies
(of which I’m not a particular fan) and we talked about how sound is what
really makes horror movies ‘scary’. Without the sound, the gory pictures lose a
lot of its impact. This is exactly what Chion explains in the first few pages
of the first chapter of his “Audio-vision”. I thought it would be particularly
cool and interesting to use this idea as an excuse to record tonnes of
vegetable abuse in the studio, which was loads of fun last year! (pics below).
I am having a meeting with course leader Kenny McAlpine on Friday, so I will be
able to get some feedback on my ideas so far.
