Introduction to A2 Media


So you have been introduced to what the A2 course entails and in my lessons you have started looking at FOLEY SOUND.
Today you are going to create a range of sounds and then edit them. It might be a good idea to try to give them a FILM NOIR theme so that you can use them in your coursework. You can also find some clips on the internet and set your sounds against them. In addition you could consider how you can fit them into some sort of narrative.
Once done post your finished work on your own blogs. Please give me your addresses so I can add them to this blog.
For the rest of this term we shall be looking at FILM NOIR and its codes and conventions and watching at least one film.

Over the summer please watch the following film DETOUR:

In addition you will need to do some background research on FILM NOIR, see the grid I gave you and check Show My Homework for copies of the sheets I give out in class.

Any questions please ask.

Also please get into the habit of signing in to show you have read my blog by commenting below! Just your name is sufficient but you can also post questions which I will answer directly by email.
