Exploration SITE space

sound scape

I have desperately been trying and trying to find an appropriate sound track for my project. I listened to a lot of noise music originally but then i realizes all the issues with copy rite etc.  So then i listened to lot of ghastly royalty free music but then their websites still tried to get me to pay for it? hmm listening to it was hard enough! so the idea of manipulating and mixing the royalty free music to my own liking didn't work out the way i had hoped. I then move on to a more simplistic approach, i started collecting sound scape's just of ordinary day to day sounds but when taken out of context they could sound quite interesting. i recorded my heat pump, different taps going on and off, rainy days, windy days, i recorded industrial sounds, sounds i felt would add some depth and provoke thought in my work. i trialed these sounds but they still didn't add anything to my project it just sounded a bit messy and amateur. i thought hard about what i really want the audience to feel when they experience my work. I then knew where  i needed to go, the department store.

I hid my threatening looking sound recorder in my open bag, the recorder unfortunately looks like a police tazer. pretending to be a eager shopper strolled around the store. listening to my new sound scape afterwards in final cut, i found it did add to my themes and ideas but it wasn't subtle enough. i tried different ways manipulating it adding other sound clips and repeating certain lines but it still sounded too obvious. i then tried reversing the sound scape and as cliche as it is reversing sound to create an unusual effect i really liked how it sounded. It was still reminiscent of the place and was relevant to my film because it is shot deliberately in reverse to reveal how its go to this point.                         

second final cut with no sound and errors!

glow effect

I have been try to find a effect in after effects that will create that sort of lighting that you would find in a cosmetic store. this is what i have decide on.
