Tony - Sound project - 18/09/2018

Thing of Beauty

We were given the task of creating a short project for our Tuesday lessons with tony. The brief for this project stated we were to find a video on YouTube with less than fantastic audio, to download the video and in Premiere Pro to extract the audio and remake it using our own downloaded sounds and our own foley sounds.  I chose the video seen below as the main component for this project as I felt the visuals had a nice dramatic feel, however, the audio it originally comes with does not sell a specific message or accurately send the correct emotional response to the viewer as the video tries to. To help push this message I used a song for my main piece of audio, I chose this song as it helps fit a mood and has a dramatic feel whilst also being fun and not too uneasy to listen to like that of a thriller or horror film. Over the top of this I also tried to add in some ambiance sounds and some camera sounds which I have timed in with the film appropriately when camera flashes can be seen. I’ve also added in some sound effects of a clock or timer to give the feeling of time running out. On top of the song that can be heard I have gotten an online program to read a poem about beauty. This is because I am trying to use my audio to send the message that the fashion industry is very fake and models act like robots doing as their told with very little else. I feel although I was able to send this message by having an online program read the poem instead of a human, it gives the video a more mechanical feel and makes it sound less human. Overall I feel although I was successful in trying to create this video and am happy with the end product I have mad.
