Had a tutorial with Paul Gardiner and he suggested I look more into the idea of visual contrasting sound.
He suggested looking at a couple of these movies and animations.
Basically the idea is to look at contrasting visual and sound. Personally I want to go into a pub and record the conversation there, then placing that sound against the visual of maybe children playing, it's a very simple take on innocence vs the eh not so innocent.Another reference Paul gave me to look at was Ice T's documentary on rap;
2012 official trailer for Ice T's documentary The Art Of Rap.
Another idea Paul threw at me was to do storyboard narrations of the conversations I've recorded, I like this idea but animation isn't really my forté so I'll have to put some thought into how I want that to play out.
I had this image of Aeron Bergman & Alejandra Salinas work for 'Feng Shui Objects' (I will eventually put up a post about them)
It reminded me of the idea of projections and shadow puppets, I'd love to do a little piece of the recordings to go along with a shadow puppet play.
