Tread lightly, watch every step. Was that sound your friend or a threat? A warm bed, a mouthwatering aroma. Your cozy home has become a deadly dome. No time for tears, seal your fond memories with a wrap. What was once a refuge from outside is now a taunting mouse trap. You hunt, you stumble, for the delectable cheese, your fingers tremble from the creak of the stairs. Hurriedly you pack your needs. First aid, water, and unexpired meals. As your own heart pounds into your ears, you freeze at the raspy growls echoing near. The overall atmosphere I get from the genre I chose - apocalyptic - and the mood board I made is learning to trust, nostalgia, paranoia, and survival. A well-known theme in all zombie apocalypses is the fact that diseases spread either airborne or through some form of touch. Home, whether it be a small-town suburbia or a fast-paced city, has become a rather dangerous place. Even though being out in the open where there's a place to run is a better option, a topple...

The sound art blogpost I did with my group,  Michael  and  Ernest  was the sound effects of a mafialike scene. Most of the sound effects came from YouTube and we made five ourselves. The planning stage was minimal since we already agreed on making the assassin clip and the discussion didn't take long unless we were debating on how the D.I.Y. sound effects were going to be formed.

The difficulties involved me not having a phone, being unable to scream because of my sore throat, Ernest being the only one able to edit the sounds, and Michael being unable to record himself driving and stepping on leaves. My thoughts on this project was that it was time taking and insightful because the sound effects in total was only a minute and thirty-one seconds long but took weeks to complete. It really puts into perspective the works movie producers - especially indie on...

The movie, "Gone with the Wind," I watched last week had stunning visuals, amazing actors, vibrant costumes, and an immaculate plot thanks to the book of the same name. I give this flawless movie 80 points. The camera effects exude emotions of the characters and grandiosity of moments such as the scene where the Scarlett sits in horror as the injured soldier is forced into amputating his leg, her expression mirrors our own horror at the injuries the war caused, and the misery Mammy felt when she explained the events that followed Bonnie's death to Melanie. The outfits are a beautiful expression of the Victorian time period and reflect the emotions of the characters as well as matching their individual style. Although the men don't have much variation, Scarlett's wardrobe is more vibrant at the beginning to reflect her youth and carefree attitude, something that dwindles as the story progresses and only pops up when she's happy, plotting, or when Rhett forced h...
