Audio for my video

Well iv given alot of thought to the audio in my video . Iv been toying with the idea of voice overs , silence and music really. I attended a meeting with salford music students about working together to create this audio, but i felt the meeting was very slow paced and i didn't really get the out come i was after. I want to work with somebody on a personal note where they can give me some ideas because I'm not a pro on audio and i have no distint outcome . I have a friend from Morecambe who i have known for years and iv always liked him style of music, Hes studying music at Liverpool university and he has agreed to produce my audio with me. When i gave a rough idea of the sorts of things i wanted to include and what my video was about our conversation quickly became a brain storming session with ideas flying around. I found this extremely help full and motivational. Below i have included snips of our conversation so you can see the development and process we are undergoing together. All in all I'm really excited to be working with him . Sonny-Jay Woodhouse is a talented god send and I'm starting to get really good expectations for my final video edit.

I apologise for the unprofessional language used in the conversation below but because we have been friend for a while that's just how we chat. These are snippets that i thought might be interesting to view for the development process so you can get whats going on. I particularly like his opinion on the "Selfie Craze"

Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

Just a few things I need to have in my head in order to get a workflow going. Could you draw me a brief outlining the elements of the video that are going to be there. Slapstick moments such as that comedy factor (Ill have to source some SFX for enhancement etc)

A few songs that fit the vibe your describing?

Length?
Maybe a list of key descriptive words an shizzle.

 Sally Jenkinsthe overall quite reveiw of the video is how the 21st century beauty routine ( aka false eye lashed , fake boobs , fake hair , fake tan ect.) are developing into a new kinda reverse sub culture where everybody looks the same . im poking fun at the idea women are doing this to either a appeal to the oppisite sex or b fit into a club enviroment. Yet if you strip away the club enviroment they actually look slightly odd and weird.

bit geordie shore?

 

Sally Jenkins

it needs to be about a minute but if if was a minute and a half it would give me some editing space if i shoot more than antisapated :) . yes the geordie sures effect of inpressnable young girls hahahaha

god i sound like a feminist !!!!!!!

Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

You are a feminist. Could take a quote from geordie shore to start it thats utterly ridiculous? Recognisable etc.

Then im feelin like a jackass party boy style tune (obiviously not the same) with funny almost pornagraphic SFX and cheeky hits of lip smackin etc.

But feel good at the same time. have you got any images your going to use availiable?

Sally Jenkins

sounds sweet to me sonny :) i also want to touch on the photographic subject of the dreded 'selfie crazy'

 Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

I delete people that constantly post selfies. Attention seekin ugly bastards.

Sally Jenkins

so at the very beggining and end will be a still picture and all that hashtag crap . wonder if we could incorporate that into the sound ?

i know thats why im touching up on it because it annoys the fuck out of me too hha

 Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

haha g'lass. even more of a nightmare when ya see fellas doing it lookin like joey fuckin essex. Daft bastards.

Sally Jenkins

i couldnt agree more sonny jay :)

-Jay Woodhouse

But so far this is what im working with : emphasis on hashtag, camera clicks, club bass sound, military elements, makeup sounds. Oh do you have an iphone.

are your transitions going to be similar to that of the dexter title too? cause i can base my arrangement on that

 

Sally jenkins

yeah the transactions are going to be very dexter like . well if i can . iv never worked with film before hahaha

Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

Ill go mad once I get going tbh brucey! If you could....get an iphone or someone with a dictaphone and record some voices of what you want like and send me them, Ill edit them and add them into the audio. And as its recorded on a phone it will sound like a phone which is where most of this selfie craze took off (Y)

Sally Jenkins

 yeah that would make the video origanal alright . I wonder if i could get almost the geordie accsent (dumbish) and get them to say a quoted femanist remark . So making say the 1970s femanist writter laura mulvey quote .sound really odd and almost clashy

bringing some contexual referencing into the mix ? 

Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

Find me some quotes I can work wonders with acapella.

 Sally Jenkins

im on in ! ill scan through her books now and see what i can come up with . its all old fashion talk about women being objects and men being comsumers. like how women have to look persentable in the chance of a marrage proposal !!!

Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

haha. It will be great. If you listen to http://youtu.be/yeh6jhHLgtg?t=3m30s

Elements of that through the image, but where the vocals are it would be your quotes.

in conjuntion with the hashtags and OMG and the tune of which is to be created. and in a completely different vibe obviously. Morely focus on the effect of how the vocal is appearing in the music.

 Sally Jenkins

that was the kind of thing in my head to be honest

 Sonny-Jay Woodhouse

sweet, will be better. remember that.

Ill look at some early 20th century classical pieces around the time of your feminist bird. Add elements of that for the introduction, then in an almost skitzophroenic fashion pull it into the 21st centure.

romantic classical pieces actually as that was the 'in' thing for a female.
