Skills Commentary
Josh and I collaborated on the sound design of our film, and divided the tasks. During this production session I learned how to use the audio decks, which I had never done before. Unfortunately due to a technical malfunction, the audio I recorded was not usable, but I am prepared for the next session. I also learned to utilize my resources. I had recorded room tone for the last project I worked on, and was able to reuse the audio for this project. I also built on my skills in using Garage Band. I was able to make a usable film soundtrack with the desired tone in only half an hour, when previously it took me several days. This audio was also not used in the final project.
My SMART goal is evident in the film in the background. This film is about conflict between two friends, so we decided to use a room with a busy background to establish a complex rhythm that conveys a sense of conflict.
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I came into this production session a week late. This meant that I had to adapt to jumping into the middle of a project, and work with another person as a sound designer. I was pretty busy outside of school, so when I could I reused audio from previous projects to save time.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
During this project I did not collaborate as much as I usually would, due to my late entry to the group. Instead I mostly just followed instructions given by the other members who were part of the decision making process. It is usually very hard for me to take a backseat in group projects, as I want everything to go perfectly and view it as my responsibility to take charge. This time I really focused on staying in my lane. This did lead to some of my contributions going unused, but it was in the best interest of the project.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I did not get as much out of this session as I would have hoped due to outside circumstances. I utilized very few tools outside of my own experience.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Adapting to a new situation that is already underway is a necessary skill int his world. I will not always have all the information, and I need to be able to function in that situation. This session gave me more experience working in that setting.
Reactions to the Final Version
Interesting use of odd shapes for rhythm. -James
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Our final version was okay. I was surprised by a lot of the choices made, as I was not a part of that process. I would have liked to be more involved in the sound design, and I think the soundtrack I created would have helped the tone of our movie a lot. In the future I will try and get involved more in the editing stage of production.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I did not do much work in this session, and did not come across any problems to be solved. I did learn how to use GarageBand more effectively, and drastically cut down the time needed to create a film soundtrack.
