    Song Stuck In My Head

    by

    When I read this assignment I immediately thought of a song I usually get stuck in my head. It’s rather strange but a lot of people who’ve seen the movie this is from would get this instantly. Great, now it’s stuck in my head again. Read more →

    A Puppy’s Thoughts and A Toilet’s Lament

    by

    I did a fun daily creation that made us caption a photo using the phrase “I’m sorry.” For some odd reason I chose a toilet. It was supposed to be about a woman during “lady time” but now that I look back at it, it seems like its someone apologizing for what they said when they really needed to go… Read more →

    Make it Slower

    by
    Music producer Nick Pittsinger slowed Bieber’s “U Smile” down 800% and the result was ethereal magic. Find a song to experiment with and slow it down to the point where it becomes an amazing piece of ambient music. If doing this with Audacity or any other non-linear digital editor, you’ll likely have to perform multiple … Continue reading Make it Slower

    Distorted Bumpers

    by
    My radio bumper is fairly short- only 11 seconds. The audio clip I used was Prelude no. 14, because I liked the piano introduction. I heavily distorted it, though. The first layer was the original audio, cut to my liking. The second was cut, pitched down, inverted, normalized, echoed, and faded. On the second layer, Read More →

    The First movie I watched was The Hitch-Hiker. Below are the 3 still captures I chose to depict the noir in this film. This photo captures noir because it is an example of a distinct shadow. The silhouette in this photo depicts a hitch-hiker which ends up being the the actual hitch-hiker killer in the movie. … Continue reading Cinematography

    Melodrama

    by
    The sound effects of Hollywood came from the men who worked there. Sound was new and exciting adventure because a lot of it was experimenting with different things. These men came up with different techniques to develop the sounds of Noir Films. Even though people who reviewed these films would call them Melodrama’s because of … Continue reading Melodrama
