Have spent some time considering how I want the painting to be read, and have come up with a few ideas.
The first example shows the picture being read from left to right, in the same way as a piece of text.

The next example shows the picture being read from the centre outwards. I think this [...]

The brief for Task 6 is to create a musical interpretation of a painting of our choice, from the early 20th century.  I decided to look for a piece of cubist art, as I am particularly interested in this area of artwork. However, on looking for a picture to use, I came across the work [...]

For Task 4 and 5 combined I am using the main battle scene from the film “Chronicles of Narnia”, as I feel that this leaves me a lot of room to take a variety of different approaches to my work.  In the film itself, a large part of the scene doesn’t contain any music, only [...]

Here is my work so far on the Commercial task. I have not yet made any changes since the feedback lecture, although I have a few things that I am planning on doing (which I will discuss in the next post), however as always feedback would be appreciated.
Task 3 – Commercial

This is my work on the animation task so far. I have made some of the amendments suggested during the feedback session, although are still more things that I want to do. I would appreciate any feedback.Task 2 – Animation

Our second task is to write the music and sound effects for up to one minute of animation. In the lecture we watched a Warner Bros animation and analysed firstly what had been done, and secondly how it could be achieved. I found this very useful as it enabled me to see how [...]

When my film was shown to the rest of the class, I received a variety of feedback (both positive and critical), and am now attempting to use this in order to improve my work.  There were a few main points that were picked up on:
Firstly, although I had written the composition out for Double basses, [...]

After studying the film “Persona”, I chose a section from the intro that I thought would best suit the feel I wanted to convey – beginning at SMPTE 01:01:57:16.06 (just before the shot of the hand) and lasting for about 30 seconds.
To get started, I first scored the film by hand – I am essentially [...]

This week we were given our first task – to score 30 seconds of the intro to Ingmar Bergman’s film ‘Persona’.  After being shown in the lecture the logisitics of scoring a movie in Logic, we have been sent away to score an excerpt of this film “in any style”.  Which obviously leaves a lot [...]

On my first Open Day at ARU, we sat in Hel040 and were shown work from previous students – one of which was “Boogie Doodle”.  That was what ultimately what made me want to do this particular course, it made me think “This is what I want to do”. Therefore I have always had high [...]
