Project Title:
Imaginative Thinking
Project Aim:
Is to investigate how man made noise pollution in the ocean is having an effect on underwater mammals and using this information to highlight how it sounds from the perspective of the underwater mammals. A long with this showing the speed of sound as it travels through different mediums and the differences in hearing ranges.
Objectives:
1.0 Investigate the impact noise pollution has on marine mammals and humans.
2.0 Perform detailed annalists of marine soundscapes from film, animation, and documentaries.
3.0 Investigate sound design for producing an underwater/marine environment.
4.0 Investigate how a soundscape can be used to disorientate people.
5.0 Develop a short video clip to accompany the final soundscape.
Methodology:
1.1 Background Research
1.1.1 Write a short statement highlighting the affects of noise pollution.
1.1.2 Highlight the hearing ranges for underwater mammals.
1.1.3 Highlight the factors that affect the speed of sound as it travels through different mediums.
1.1.4 Write a literature review detailing all point made above.
2.1 Analysis of Soundscapes
2.1.1 Identify popular films, animations and documentaries on underwater mammal.
2.1.2 Chose one from each category then analyse the sounds used and its effectiveness.
2.1.3 List the sounds that are rescuer in all chosen items and compare which is better.
2.1.4 Identify the sounds I would like to use in my soundscape.
3.1 Sound design
3.1.1 Identify the key elements involved with sound design.
3.1.2 Gather sounds for soundscape.
3.1.3 Import sounds into protocols.
3.1.4 Set sounds to a structured timeline.
3.1.5 Practice the key skills on sounds.
4.1.1 Identify the key points that make soundscapes disorientating.
4.1.2 Identify how to draw people into a soundscape.
4.1.3 Identify the key skills used to a disorientating soundscape.
4.1.4 Practice key skills on my sounds.
5.1.1 Gather still image / video clips.
5.1.2 Edit video clips for the scenes I prefer.
5.1.3 Load all edited scenes into iMovie.
5.1.4 Structure the scenes to my soundscape.
