We have been informed that our first project is to create an experimental film. However before this we must make a sound piece that we will then later record the film for. For this project we have to work in pairs so I have been grouped with Ellie Marsland, another girl in my Creative Media Project seminar.
We have had a few ideas for this project but the one we found the most interesting was the idea of filming in a kitchen whilst someone was preparing a meal/cooking. We originally got this idea after listening to the sounds in Richie Bierne's sound piece 'Meat Factory Ear Worms' as we thought the sound of the knives in this piece was especially interesting. We thought that by recording in a kitchen we could get some very interesting sounds from many different things including cutting meat/veg, frying something in oil, boiling water, sharpening knives etc. There is a link to this piece in the previous blog post.
Another influence we found for recording our piece in a kitchen is the award winning opening sequence for the TV drama Dexter. I have included the video below to show examples:
This is very influential as there are a lot of sharp and interesting sounds used in this piece that we could also use in our experimental film, e.g. when he cuts the grapefruit, the sound of the egg/meat being cut/fried and also the sound used when he is eating the food.
