In lemos's class......

This week in class, we were in what is know as the infamous long dragging process of writing, then re-writing, and re-writing. Diving head first into the pre-production process is, frankly, not a good idea. You have to have an idea and an attack plan. What my group did after finishing the script was we wrote out templates for the script breakdown and another template for the shooting dates. This, in my opinion was a good plan. After writing these templates we could easily fill our breakdowns.
I didnt really like working this week but it was something that needed to be done in order to get to the fun part. ;)

A big Whoop de doo......

Tomorrow apple will release another product. The Iphone that every body has been waiting for since the Iphone 6 came out. It would make since for them to come out with the 7 next right. Its simple math 5-6-7; oh wait sorry guys forgot, that s is a new number replacing 1/2. But since apple is taking a math 7 steps higher than differential equations I guess the real numbers between 6 and 7 are 6s and SE?? anyways besides my ranting. Due to the fact that apple cares more about looks that multitasking or should I say the whole purpose of a smartphone they took away the headphone jack. And no the i phone 7 itself does not in fact come with the wireless "Airpods." *cough* *cough* which only cost about around 150 dollars. In the box of the seven there is Earpods with a lightning connector. Now you can charge your Iphone with your ears....(that was a joke just letting you know). A charger with the block and because apple know you are going to lose there ear charging head phones they gave you a head phone jack to lightning cable so you can use your old earphones. Hopefully this phone wont turn out to be another IED (*cough* Galaxy S7 *cough*). The Iphone also comes with a feature it should of had a long long time ago its water resistant. So using an Iphone might as well go buy a tool box so you can carry around all of the accessories that it will come with. The Iphone also comes with two cameras. One for wide angles and the other a telephoto lens. Allowing you to zoom in farther and sharper before. Oh did i mention you can no longer listen to music and charge your phone anymore. huh. 

This is satire. All information is in fact true. http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/?afid=p238%7CswRB8Ie77-dc_mtid_20925d2q39172_pcrid_137641212601_&cid=wwa-us-kwgo-iphone-slid- 

Class, and how its going......

This week we are finally working on our big sound design project. Mr. Lemos had us write a treatment for the theme "it is better to give than receive." Each of us wrote a story that we wanted to fight for and truly tell. Sadly, we did not go with my story but, to be honest we went with a quite better one. I will not announce the story because I am unaware if my director wants it released or not. I believe that our mini sound design project that we were working on before had helped us prepare for this upcoming project. I hope the pre-production process goes well.  Ill write in the next blog. 

what we learned in class....

In class we learned what is the art of sound design. Mr. Lemos gave us a project where we were given a raw clip with not a lick of audio on it. Not even voices. The assignment was to place all of the sounds that we would record or find on final cut. My partner and I decided to go a little crazy and be creative since we could put any sound on the piece. We of course we had the basic phonic, such as the door closing foot steps and since it was a well, a ridiculous fight scene, the punches. The thing I hated most about this project, I must say, is the long and tedious process of recording Automated Dialogue Replacement. But, this was not necessarily replacing dialogue it was more placement of dialogue. Due to the fact that we had no idea what the real script was saying. Otherwise I enjoyed working on this project and cannot wait to see everyone else's projects.
